It seems a few members are having the same problem and Jerry has been informed.

Hi Paul, had a problem with the server and perhaps this was related to that issue which is now fixed.

A quick update on this issue. I think its resolved.
One of the security measures I have in place to protect us from spammers is a system called mod_security. Its basically an Apache server module. It looks for rules and can react based upon certain criteria. Anyway, I found one thing in common and it was triggering a rule. This is a rule we wrote years ago to protect from spam links, which is a common spam practice. I think it was being triggered when members are posting links from external image servers. I am going to disable that rule, so we should be ok now (I hope). I am going to go with its fixed.
Here is the rule in case you are interested
