Thread title says it all.

“Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again.”

This started happening for me yesterday afternoon, in multiple forums.

Just tried to attach a screen capture of the error message, it’s a .PNG file. This time I did not get the security error message and the screen capture looks like it will properly display in this post. But a few minutes ago I could not post a screen capture in the SpaceX forum.

Is it always the same file that's doing it? There's probably a stream of characters/bytes in the encoded JPG file that's tripping the security page. Try converting the image to PNG or just resize it (smaller) and that should remove the coincidental string of offending bytes.
