First of all a big thank you for the software, that you are developing! It is absolutely amazing and sometimes unbelievable to me, that it is open source: ❤.  
I’ve been using discourse for building a community forum for the city of Bonn:

Lately I’ve been working a lot on design and the webserver, which is also serving some other websites. Everything seemed to work after my changes of design and webserver, I was even able to post some “release notes”:

Just now, whenever I try to add an article or change options, I get an error 403.  
I tried to change some options in my nginx-config back to previous states, but it didn’t help. I tried to change the css-additions, but I can’t save them. I tried to understand this article to try this, but I didn’t understood, where to copy-paste the code:

> I’m getting a lot of 403 errors when doing anything - replying to posts, changing settings etc. This happened right after adding a bit of JS to the header, so I’m trying to remove it as step 1. Problem is, the errors prevent me from saving the changed header. So that I can delete it manually, where are site customizations like this kept?

Maybe you can help me find the error?
