Trouble Posting a thread

[bumoftheday]

I'm trying to post a new thread in car and driver, but it's giving me errors. Whenever I hit submit it just goes to a blank page. Is anyone else having any trouble. This is also a test to see if it works.

That thread worked. I tried the other thread in IE and it give me a page cannot be displayed.



What I'm trying to post is relatively lengthy.



Thanks

does it have pictures in it?



if so you need 10 post first otherwise it will go into a mod's que for review

 

[bumoftheday]

No it does not. I saw that and have some posts awaiting approval in that queue. It does not get that far though. Those posts have a message saying you may need review/approval to post. (Forget the exact wording)

bumoftheday,



Try using a different title for your thread. For whatever reason, our current version of vB occasionally chokes on a new thread, and it seems to be related to the characters in the title. If you can't get the thread to submit with a very simple title (try it with no punctuation or special symbos), let me know.



Thanks,

Tort

Tried changing the title several times and still nothing.



http://autopia.org/forum/newthread.php Is the page I get that is blank.

I ended up posting a thread saying test and editing it. http://autopia.org/forum/car-driver/103017-buying-new-car.html#post1077333 is the post. Any reason you can see why it wouldn't post?



Thanks,

No, nothing obvious. As I said, our forum software seems to choke on some thread titles, and we really don't know why or what seems to cause it. It's not related to how many posts you have; some long-time members have had the same issue crop up.



Good to see you found a workaround . . .
