    I wanted to post something anonymously in a forum that allows this, and got the following error message:

    However, I am in the UK so I don't understand why it is blocking me from posting? I have double checked the location of my IP address and it says Harrow, UK

    We use the Maxmind GeoIP database to resolve IP addresses to their locations, it's very rare that they'll have a mistake present for very long. That being said, you can contact them at support@maxmind.com to inform them that your IP address should resolve to the UK. Sorry for any inconvenience caused

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
