It was quite a lengthy post, and I did try to create the message with just the title and a space in the body (can’t post an empty message) but even this failed.
I’d never seen this issue before. I even searched my inbox to see if I’d been banned!

If a vehicle is approaching from the front, I’ll use the white beam, and if vehicles are passing from behind, the red one. I usually point it towards me rather than at the traffic so there is no danger of dazzling them.This has a broad light it put rather than a focussed torch style beam, and you can select either white light or flashing red.

This was originally a single paragraph. After trial and error, making it into two paragraphs allowed me to post.
