    As per the title - I'm unable to post new threads on Firefox, but I can on Edge - I get a message saying that I have been blocked.

    I've managed to post the thread just now (copy and paste from one browser to another) using Edge - so it seems specific to my Firefox browser.

    Any ideas as to why?

    Hi funkey_monkey, it sounds like a Cloudflare issue. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do to stop this happening at the moment, CloudFlare will kick in when there is a lot of traffic on the site or when there is 'unfriendly' traffic (not specifically you, could be from the same geographic area or IP range). It shouldn't remain like that all of the time though.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    One small possibility occurred to me, is your Firefox using any private/incognito browsing mode, or rejecting cookies?

    Spear - no I'm using std Firefox and I've got no blockers installed.

    Niamh - the name Cloudflare sounds correct.

    Spear/Niamh I've had the problem again trying to post into the Test forum. I've forward the Cloudflare ray Id to you both via PM.
    It's not a big issue but I've got 4 weeks of boredom to fill... :D
