Hi Ken,

This is typically down to your IP address. Can I check where you're posting from? And is it only happening on a specific forum? Also, which version of the site are you using?

There are a couple of things to try, including clearing your cache, trying the Legacy rather than Responsive version of the site (you can find a link to switch in the footer), and using incognito mode.

I'm posting from Northern Ireland. I'm only trying on the gigs and events forum...I tried it on the Legacy site and it worked OK.
