This has been resolved. I backed out of the forum window in which I was preparing my post, cleared browser cache, closed and re-opened my browser (IE 11), went back to the "create a post" site, re-created the post and posted it (after editing the main text to be maybe 200-300 characters shorter). This time the post was accepted, and is now on the "Installing Flash Player" forum, awaiting a response.
