Dear mods,
I’ve just tried to create a slightly lengthy thread (including ~40 pictures) and constantly get the following error:


Apologies for the quality, it merely showed for maybe a second before the next one loaded and taking a picture with my phone was the only way for me to get it. This is the next screen:



Happened on my windows computer on both Chrome and Edge (which I ran as a test).

Any idea what I can change? Tried again and again but it’s always the same. The error occurs every single time I hit “Preview”.

Thank you!

 

@dsio or @Trev will sort it with their computer ninja stuff they do…

 

Not sure it is related but I've had to download each page twice to get all the pictures for the full day. I thought it was due to a bad connection but seems to happen here only.
This never happened to me before.

 

Now I’m really curious to know the rest of the “Did you know 43% of cyber” fact that got cut off.

 

Does this mean this is an open thread??? Got dog pictures at the ready!
Even have reptiles humping from another thread.

 

Worst comes to worst I can always recreate the issue and try to scroll down quickly.

 

I can't even get to that point anymore. I've deleted all pictures from the post, hit "Preview" again, got the same error. Now, whenever I start a new thread, all my text and the title are there, but after a second or so I get the error screen.

Also tried my phone (iPhone 13 Pro; latest Safari), and it's the exact same thing. And since the website seems to remember my latest draft, I also can't start from scratch.

 

Fiddled around a bit with the errors, so after the initial "checking if connection is secure" it does show me "Connection is secure" for a split second before the final error occurs (see screenshot above). Not sure if that's relevant for you, I'm really bad in dealing with anything IT-related. Glad I manage to turn on my phone in the morning.

For completeness (already mentioned it to @dsio in a PM: Creating a thread and adding the pictures later via edit also leads to the same error.

 

If this is all just a big scheme to drum up a pile of interest in the thread you are trying to create I have to say it is working...

 

Since the draft for the post is always there when I try creating a new thread, regardless of which device I use (and they're not connected), this can't be the solution, unfortunately. It must be saved on the side of the forum, not on mine.
