Help, I can't post!

Post Reply New Topic

I want to post in the topic called "Post a pic of yourself RIGHT NOW!", but it says there's an error in posting. It won't even let me edit my posts! What can I do? Please sort it!

I've posted in there before, just so you know.

Can you post plain text, with no picture?

Yes, apparently I can.

And then I edited it and showed a picture, and it worked. Well, as long as it doesn't happen again...

Ah, good.
WP can get a bit glitchy at times...

Hello World.

Hello World x2

i thought someone got into the sliqua account and was trolling when i saw the first "Hello World" post. ...slinks away...

Just got this message and thought I'd pass it on:

World says "Hello" back.

I'm having trouble with it again! It's so annoying!! !

Are you including a picture in your post?

I tried to include many at first. Then I tried just one, but that didn't work either. It ws in a different topic, but still.

Including many images almost always seems to cause problems, and sometimes even one image does too. I've experienced it a couple of times with one image - either a simple "Error in posting" message or more commonly, "Can't obtain smilies data".
In your third post you said that editing the post got it to eventually work - is that now not the case?

If this error is going to occur it usually occurs on preview too, so a preview can be used to "test" the situation before posting.
When I've had this error on posting I use the browser's "back" button to return to my post edit screen and then attempt a preview - firstly to see if it works and secondly to see it my post was actually made, despite the error. You can always see the most recent post to a thread below the "preview" area and sometimes, there's my successful post.
Amongst these are actually the resolutions for the problems I've had, and I've only had repeated failures where there was something weird with the image file itself. That's unlikely in your case as you're posting images from the same webcam source.

The upshot is that it appears to be a problem with the forum software and there's nothing we can actually do about it, since it requires the code to be pulled apart and re-written, and that's well outside our remit.

I'm afraid that the only thing available at the moment is "try again".
Sorry.

I think because I tried to post many images, it;s decided not to let me post just one, and will need to be fixed. It won't let me preview them. It's on the "Post your old avatars" topic.
