Hello all, Been running discourse for a few years - love it. However, lately it started acting up, and I’m not able to figure out why. If I try to quote someone on the forum, then I get a message saying “drafts offline”, and then it fails to post with a popup saying 403 error. If I try to cancel, the discard drafts button fails to function. I went to check for updates, but the admin menu is gone for my user. Logout button does nothing. So, I have to clear my cookies, refresh, login, and then things seem to work fine again. Done a full update and restart - didn’t fix the issue. Anyone run into this before?

That was it! No sure if it was Auto Minify exactly, but I wrote an exclusion to shut everything off and it’s working again. Thanks!

Actually, I just logged into to Cloudflare to see about excluding the forum and see if that helped.
