I keep getting the following, among many others, whenever I post:

400 Bad Request
Request cannot be handled by the server.

Reason: Connection with Host: header containing unknown local host name "googleads.g.doubleclick.net". Received on IP address 173.15.169.153, which is not bound to any virtual server. Cannot proceed.

I have not had anything like that. Knock wood.

Another thing I have been having trouble with is posting, hitting submit and having something completely different come up.

Now, that is familiar. Maybe once a week I'll get an anomalous connection that I didn't ask for, usually if not always a site I have contacted in the past. I don't know whether that happens elsewhere than Mudcat or not; haven't thought in detail about what led up to it.

Come to think of it, having read what I quoted, I don't recall that the appearance of the "furrin site" occurred upon my submitting a Mudcat post, so I may be talking about something other than what you are.
