When you get an error message while using a forum, it is possible that you could find out something about the problem by searching on some of the words or phrases in the error message.

It would also be useful to include the exact text of error messages in any posts you make.

You've most likely fallen afoul of one of the various problems with this forum, perhaps the "can't make a post that resembles certain MySQL statements", or the "can't use a < without a space after it", or it could be that the forum is actually having a normal, short term problem.

It's more likely to be one of the long term deliberate forum cripplings than a short term problem.

That's a new Forum feature. It's the "make it look like you are not wanted here" feature. It's neat, several people have already assumed they've been banned from the forums and have wandered off, probably never to return again. I betcha there's huge smiles all around on the Linden Forum team at their huge success with this latest 'feature'.
/sarcasm

Or, yeah, what SuezanneC said. There are several bugs like that, and in Scripting forums it's most likely what SuezanneC pointed out above. Either that or it's the "change your editor type or never post again" bug.

Go to this page: http://forums.secondlife.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

On the bottom of that page, you'll see the Message Editor Interface, where you can change the editor type:
