^^^^ this post still not listed in "Your posts" for me.
I just rebuilt the search index, has that post been added?

OK, there is still something wrong with search indexing, but it is unrelated to the posting issues - it is due to other changes I made while testing.

Sorry for the delayed response, nope!

I had a notification to say you'd quoted me (i.e. this post I've quoted above) but it's still not listed in Your Posts for me :?:

I think that the posts which were missing from the search index should now be present, after properly cleaning and repopulating the search database.

This may be of use to you.
Whilst the ping is great, the actual routing is not.

It might be worth trying the pathping command "pathping www.frenchcarforum.co.uk".

Yes, there is still an issue, but it doesn't seem to be networking-related, and perhaps not in the forum PHP code, leaving the http server software (OpenLitespeed) in question.

It could also be related to Cloudflare, but that seems less likely at this point.

It seems that only http POST is affected, not http GET.

I am working on some diagnostic code, but it may take a while longer.

Same here, waited for 30 seconds(ish) nothing, manually refreshed the screen (I'm on my PC), but before resubmitting checked 'New Posts' and my posts and it was there.
