Validation failure

[BetterLoretta]

Trying to start a topic in Alfa forum but keep getting this when I try to post.
Any idea?
Thanks

An odd one!
If you can start a thread here then you have the rights to start a thread in the Alfa section.
Hopefully someone else will be along who has an idea.

Thanks for reporting this. This is an intermittent error that affects a small number of new members, so please persist or try posting through an incognito window.

Thanks

Im having the same issue, and opening an incognito tab doesn't work

I am having the same issue - and only joined earlier today
Could there be a housekeeping routine that runs every day / week that indirectly resolves the problem?

I've got the same problem, I've been a member for some time but never posted before.

I've been getting newsletters from you for some time.

How long do you have to wait after creating an account for this error to go away?

I'm getting this error.

I've had a Piston Heads login for years.

First time I've used the forum though, so I may be a new forum member as of Thursday or Friday last week.

Tried ctrl+F5, tried incognito, tried with and without accepting cookies.

Still getting the error

I am also getting 'validation failed'. Even with a one word test message. I sent an email, about the problem, to [e-mail] yesterday. No reply yet.
I joined on 16 Oct and wanted to start a new discussion on the Watch forum.

I think the problem with me is that new members have to wait 14 days.

I only joined today but I’m also getting this error when trying to create a new thread in Readers Cars.

Unfortunately this does only affect a very small number of new members and will last for the first 14 days since you signed up. Apologies to any new members experiencing this and for the inconvenience caused.
