"Bad request 400 - Cloudflare" Is this the Forum server?

Over the last few weeks I've been seeing a msg along the lines of "400 Bad Request - Cloudflare" more and more frequently when I attempt to post.

I can read the forums just fine, but more than 3/4 of my attempted posts have resulted in this msg.

Worse, unless I copy/save the post locally before hitting the send button, it's lost to the aether. Hitting the browsers back button (firefox) just sends me to the post I was reading prior to attempting a reply, so I may have to rewrite the post 3 or 4 times before getting it to send.

Given that it is a server msg, is this generated by the forum's host or is one of the handlers along the way likely dropping the ball?


I ask because we're on satellite and recently our service quality has been seriously downgraded. Our provider insists these problems are our local setup, but given the nature of these events we know this is not the case. :sigh:
