Users cannot post in threads or PM's

I've gotten a few PM's from users telling me they cannot post in PM's or threads. I figured I would make this thread for them. Apparently they keep getting an error, however one user seems to be able to post from there phone.

Try clearing cache's.

Likewise. I can’t post either, only from my phone. Otherwise I keep getting the “This value should not be blank” error. I already tried clearing my cache but nothing was resolved. And it’s a problem I’m having with all browsers on my computer.

Seems to be a recurrent issue. It was fixed for a few hours it seemed but it’s back. Once again, I can only post from mobile.

@grimmwald: are you using any ad-blocking extensions or apps? I've noticed recently some sites being "crippled" by them, for example AdGuard AdBlocker made it so you couldn't read emails in gmail.

@pikahyper: I am but I’ve already tried disabling and even removing them to see if they’re causing the issue but I still couldn’t post. So still restricted to mobile.

@grimmwald: weird, there shouldn't be anything that would make it happen in multiple browsers, are you using a VPN or proxy? what operating system are you running? I'm thinking maybe it is regional, like DNS isn't resolving files from the asset server, I'm guessing you can still see CV images in the browser? does the search bar work? if you can see images and the search bar works you don't have a problem loading things from the asset server. Are you using a laptop?

@pikahyper: The issue seems to have been resolved once again so I'm guessing it might be an issue that's being actively dealt with by the engineers (or some issue with my DNS)? In any case, I'm not using a VPN or proxy, and I'm running Windows 10. When I was having the issue I could still see images in my browser, though I never checked to see if the search bar was working. And yes, I'm using a laptop.

For now it looks like I can post from a computer again. But I had emailed CV Support some hours ago, so if the issue pops up again, I'll reach out to them.

The site has been under intermittent DDOS attacks for the last few days that may be causing some other issues with the site; or, alternately, the protections put into place to prevent the attacks may themselves be preventing some legitimate traffic from coming through. I'll keep an eye on these reports, though.
