Strong Bob Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I just posted a reply in the "Cheating" thread on Off Topic. The quote tags failed to work, and when I tried to edit the message, it double posted. I did not reply a second time, I am certain I clicked "edit" because the box at the bottom said "modify". Help?

Pete Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Sounds like the database did a brainfart. I shall take a look Okay, duplicate post deleted. Try the quote tag in capitals? Shouldn't make a difference. Might just be something that's not ticked in the aCP for that forum that may be causing it but I doubt it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 It was simply too long for the forum software to handle Bob. Split your posts in the future please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Last I saw, if you made a post that was too long the forum soft would simply refuse to post it... Of course, that was on the old boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that was on the old boards.Should have displayed a message and refused to post! Strange if they had that in and removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I still don;t know why it happened. I'll see asbout shortening post lenghts in the ACP at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Well, the quotes worked after I edited it, so it has to be the length... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks Slaughter, I'll be sure to watch my postage length next time. Strange though, in the old boards I posted roleplays in XCAS that were slightly larger than that one. I never got any error messages or had them denied. Maybe there are two caps? Too many characters and the tags stop working... Too much more and the whole post goes THPPT! I dunno. I am also baffled about the "Modify Post" thingy posting an extra reply. But I am not the forum expert here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
