I've seen this error before on images that were auto-named by mobile devices and may contain special characters of some sort but never on one I had named myself:

Protector detects attacking actions

Check the title of what you tried to post. The most common item that message appears for is caused by any sequence of numbers separated by periods. Apple's default line format which includes screen capture time is a prime example. If I tried to post the image this sequence is the tile for as is, it would give the same error msg.

The website thinks the numbers and periods is a rogue IP address trying to hijack the post and sends up the message as it kicks you out. In the example the time info after the word "at" needs to be edited out and then it will post without issue.

It was a standard jpg that I named myself and was sending from the PC. No odd characters involved which is why I was surprised to get that particular error.

When one does get it from a mobile device, it’s a simply matter of re-selecting the image which renames it automatically on the fly but in this case it was not an auto-generated name like that.

Also, more than half the time I try to submit something, I get an Invalid Submission error and the only way around it is to log out, then back in. I appears that it detects inactivity while writing but if so it must have a very short timeout time!
