    Error Posting to the Forum

    Is anyone else experiencing errors when trying to attach an image to a new thread. I have tried three times this afternoon to do so.


    Each time I see this :-

      I've just had that error a few times when trying to post with links to Flickr / photos from flickr - I have noticed that a few times now the url from flickr includes an @ sign - which may then make the forum think it includes email address etc and you "might" be spamming.

      That's the only thought I could see why mine was failing so I removed the url links and changed the post slightly and it worked.

        Thanks Andy, I’ll have a look at the Flickr URL’s I was trying to use. Initially I thought the problem was down to my export settings that included contact details rather than just copyright in the saved Exif.

          Strange as I just had a message saying you quoted me in a second post - but nothing new is showing up. Perhaps there are some weird things happening on the forum at the moment - because unusually I haven't seen any new posts all morning today...

            That was probably a response I wrote and I included the Flickr URL (no @ in it) However that gave the same error Andy

                Remove the URL parts and only post the parts with [img]……..[/img] - then manually add a link to the url for the album / picture - that's what I had to do in the end - although a single picture worked ok...strange...

                    Just experienced this and not amused. I overcame it by deleting everything after "[/url]" so everything following that comencing "[url=https://flic.kr..." containing the "@" sign and it was accepted.

                    Edit: notice that "@" sign was accepted

                    Cheers,
                    John

                      Hmm blows my theory out then. Hopefully a mods seen this and is investigating and will let us know.

                      Seems to be increasing though.

                        Thanks everyone for reporting the problems you're experiencing. Rest assured, we're keeping a watching brief and will work to resolve the issues over the coming days.

                        On Monday evening we made some changes to the registration process, to reduce the number of spammers that attempt to gain access to the forum. It was becoming an overwhelming battle to keep on top of the spammers, and we'd rather be writing magazine articles and shooting pics than fighting the bots.

                        It would seem that either this plug-in, or the fact that we have re-enabled plug-ins globally on the forum, is causing the posting issue, so we're investigating what we can do to rectify it.

                        We'd be grateful if you could continue to report any issues you're experiencing – specifically since Monday – on this thread and we'll update you as soon as we can.

                        Claire
