I hope I'm not stupidly overlooking something here, but tonight I don't seem to be able to reply to posts.

The error message says I've included links or pictures and I'm still under my first 20 posts, but I haven't put any links or images in.

I tried cutting and pasting and re-writing, but it keeps coming up with that message.

But I could make this post

What are you trying to post? If it involves copy/paste from another site, sometimes that will include a link automatically (the site you're copying from includes that as a feature to protect their copyright).

No, I wasn't copying from another site, when I mentioned I'd tried copying and pasting, I meant my own text in and out of the editor sentence by sentence trying to see if any of it would be accepted, but it wasn't.

Will try again today.
