I am suddenly having dificulty with the site in posting replies to threads.

When I try the preview button, it consisistently reports "Couldn't obtain smileys data" or "Couldn't obtain category list"

When I try the post button, it consistently reports "Error in posting."

Any idea why, or what I can do to correct this?

I am having this problem both in Chrome on Vista, and Chrome on Android


Not me, but someone else, and I'm not so au fait with the ins and outs of the site to know what's up. Anyone got any clues? Thanks

Could it just be Chrome itself? I seem to get these errors very frequently when I was using it back then. It was frustrating half the times.

I just saw him post, I think it's to do with images or videos in the post.

I am the user who reported the problem. Seems to be related to images, as I finally got the post to go when I pulled the two images hosted on imageshack

OK, got the post how I wanted it. For some reason, I had to post it without the images, then go back and edit, and instead of using the image button above the text box, use the image link generated by imageshack. The only difference I saw (replace curly braces with square) was that in the {img} tags, this forum created them in lowercase, while Imageshack put them in as caps.
