Hi I can browse and post on all boards but /b/, which gives be a '400 Bad Request' error every time, regardless of trying to post text or images, yet browsing is fine.
I've tried deleting cookies, reinstalling firefox, checking for spyware/viruses (there are none). How can I fix this please?

Don't know, it's working for me though
Try asking in /img/, or IRC

I had the very same issue. I could not post on img.4chan.org at all. Not that I really cared since I don't frequent /b/ or /r9k/ often. I had to edit my hosts file because I added 4chan server IP and domain addresses since the site was experiencing downtime. I forgot I had left all that stuff in my hosts file hence the "400 Bad Request" error I kept receiving.
Just goto Start, run, and put in "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" and see if there's anything that was added into your hosts file. You can open it in notepad.
It should look exactly like so when you open the hosts file (or at least if you open it on Windows XP, I'm not sure about Vista or 7):
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought to fix it either for it not have been someone on IRC who suggested it could be the hosts file. Funny thing is, I was unable to post to only the img server, all the other servers (zip, cgi, orz, ect.) I could post to with no problems for some strange reason.
I too had this problem. It seems to be entirely related to the hosts file, rather than any of this "Trust me! Just download and run this suspicious code and you'll shit bricks!" dipshittery. Some people on 4chan, as rare as they seem to be, do have an IQ higher than that of a box jellyfish.
As a side note, it seems that this occurred because during the DDOS the last digit in the dat server's IP changed from a 2 to a 3. I'm just mentioning it in case somebody else with the same problem stumbles across this page.

I remember a long time ago when 4chan or /b/ went down there was a workaround you could do by editing your hosts file. I guess anyone who did this is now having this problem.
