Sly Reflex Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yeah, I get a hang whenever I try to post stuff. I thought it was just images that were crapping out, but it seems a bit more complex than that. Tried deleting, repasting, pasting as pain text. Nothing. It's fucked. 1 minute ago, mfnick said: That’s the issue I was having yesterday. Seemed to be a character limit issue, try cutting your text in half and see if that will post it to test it out. Give me a moment. Yep, there appears to be quite a small character limit. Fuck it, I'll leave it until it's sorted, I not pissing about posting something in twitter like bites.

Jimboxy Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 you just need to be more verbose. Say it in two instead of twenty. (I'll look into the character limit thing, that seems odd as we've had people posting essays before without issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 isn't that the opposite of what verbose means? @Sly Reflex @mfnick if it happens again before Jim's fixed sorted it. If you split it in half then just post the 2nd half straight away it should merge your posts. Or @ me or Jim and we'll merge them ourselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I've never had a problem with a character limit. But then 99% of what I do here is via PC. So maybe it is a phone thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know about Sly but that wouldn’t work for me. I had to really trim down the second post to a few lines or it’d show the same issue. Seemed to work if someone posted inbetween though.

I was hoping the forum wouldn't be that clever and you could brute force it like that If you have to leave it a few minutes and do it as 2 posts for now that's not an issue for me. It will let us test if we can merge them as mods, or if even that is blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I was thinking same so gave it about a couple of hours+ so it wouldn’t merge but still did same. Sorry lol. I waffle anyway so it’s actually a good way to make me get to the point. Until it’s sorted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yeah, it did alright for the first bit of the post, but I had to cut and cut further and further down until eventually I just couldn't be bothered. Also the attach files thing has been broken for me for months. Not that I use it much, but yeah, I get the same hang and then 404. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The weird thing is I did do a post after this that was fine. Cyberpunk did that big fuck off post and this was fine too. I'm maybe thinking there some sort of filter that stops so much being posted at once if you're doing it a lot, to catch spammers or something. Or I could just be talking out my arse. I've no idea what goes on in the inner workings of the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea what goes on in the inner workings of the website. In the marvel thread I quoted two people in one post and got a 500 error, so I wondered if it was that, but that seems to work fine as well. I've upgraded our PHP version to see if that helps.

Jimboxy Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 this might be a me problem and not a forum problem, but people that are using an actual computer, do you get your browser spellcheck options in the text box when you're typing? I use grammarly because I'm dyslexic as fuck and I noticed the other day that it is no longer checking what I type, but only on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I keep getting 'Internal Server Error' when trying to post a new topic in the Games thread. Weird ?!?! As it seems to let me post here still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 is it a massive long post? wasn't that the issue @Sly Reflex was having? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sounds similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It was pretty long initially - but even when I tried to copy & paste sections now (from where I copied it to a docx file) it generates the same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
