I have been trying to send PM's and an error screen pops up with server error: 403. Either email alex or go back and try again.

The same screen appears when i try to preview the pm too.

If the problem doesn't go away of its own accord the only way forward is for you to try emailing Alex, the site owner, directly, or to phone him via his link at the bottom of the screen. None of the moderators have access to any of the admin tools for the site so we can't do anything about technical problems.

I have discovered the issue.

For some reason you can not start a PM with a link, another type of text must preceed the link.

It is a quirk. :?

Good! :D I'm glad it is working now. Thanks for reporting the cause of the problem too just in case anyone else ever gets the same problem.

I think I may be able to fix this issue.

Can you either post the link you were trying to include, or PM it to me if you'd rather not share publicly?

No, but the issue described is a server issue, not a forum issue. At least I'm pretty sure it is.
