I kept getting a 'Forbidden 403' on the following screen.
Evidently what triggered that were the quotation marks I placed in my subject line. I removed them and the post was successful.

Some characters are just trouble for DU, for various reasons, probably related to the firewall. (i.e. magic)

Good detective work.

Like the old TV repair person. Replace tubes until the set works!! 📺

It's happened b4 occasionally.
The Lil Burbie on my shoulder suggested to re-do the subject line w/o them quotation marks. Thas wut it wuz I reckon.

Also, when you DM someone, some grammatical marks in the header result in weird stuff.

(Replace tubes in TV till it works.) 😆

Merry New Year to you and yours❣️

Had some of "mine" over for one day that covers many holidays and birthdays.

Distance.

Scheduled between storms.

Was fun. Too short.

Have a very good year. Despite the turmoil. Find peace inside.
