This was for a box whose clue was hosted on AQ? Okay, I think I might know what the problem is, and it has nothing to do with your browser. =)
Not exactly, but you aren't far off the mark! =) There's a program that runs that tries to detect someone hacking into AQ and I'll bet you inadvertantly tripped it. There are certain UNIX commands it tries to find in anything you type and if it finds it, rejects the post with a page not found error. Sex, however, wouldn't have been the word that tripped the hacker-detection program. It's probably some otherwise innocent sounding word you'd never imagine would be an issue, but I'd have to see the text of the clue you typed to figure out what it is.
The only reason it would have posted this time is because you somehow changed the clue not to use the trigger word. Knowing EXACTLY what you typed in as the clue it rejected would help! =)
