I used to post updates to a forum though a PHP script though my account, Recently it has stopped working, and im not 100% sure why - there are no errors returned by curl and everything seems to be ok apart from the message appearing.

The board im posting to has disable flood limit set for my user and I have permissions to post what ever type of topic is needed

the code to post im using is the following (found online a while ago - minor edits) 

$url = "http://url.co.uk/board/";

$post_fields = 'username=user&password=pass&redirect=&login=Log+in';
$lurl = $url."ucp.php";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$lurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,"cookie.txt");
$result= curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$sid1 = explode("sid=",$result);
$sid2 = explode('&',$sid1[1]);
$sid = rtrim(substr($sid2[0], 0, -29),'"');

$purl = url&"posting.php?mode=post&f=20&sid=$sid";
var_dump($purl);
$ch1 = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL,$purl);
curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt ($ch1, CURLOPT_HEADER, false );
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,"cookie.txt");
$result1= curl_exec ($ch1);
curl_close ($ch1);

preg_match('%name="form_token" value="(.*)"\ /\>%',$result1,$security123);
preg_match('%name="lastclick" value="(.*)"\ /\>%',$result1,$lastclick);
preg_match('%name="creation_time" value="(.*)"\ /\>%',$result1,$ctime1);
$lclick = explode('" />',$lastclick[1]);

$title = "title";
$subject = "subject to post";
$post_fields = array(
            'subject'   => $title,
         'message'   => htmlspecialchars_decode($subject),
            'icon'      => 0,
'poll_title' => "Poll Name",
'poll_option_text' => "poll 1\r\npoll 2",
'poll_max_options' => 1,
'poll_length' => 0,
'poll_vote_change' =>
