My post with Firefox 3.0.3 is not accepted, as I get the message below. So let's see if this works...



400 - Bad Request

Your browser appears to have done something our server can't understand. That's probably a good sign that you need to update your browser. (We suggest Firefox, but what you use is up to you, so long as it works.)

Hmmm ... that works. Then my real post must contain to much difficulties ... ;-(

... and now my other/real post gets

An Error Has Occurred!
You already submitted this post! You might have accidently double clicked, or tried to refresh.

... but the post (so far) does not show up in the forum ...

I'm answering this using Firefox 3.0.3 on Windows XP SP3.

I got the first error message because I tried to post too much technical logging:

You were probably hit by the security filter of the forum.
It's suspicious of anything that even remotely looks like an XSS attempt.
Put the info in a text file and upload it as an attachment.

I think the forum error message should also suggest the above to the poster (me), and not just the browser-too-buggy-message.

The second error message is still unexplained. Maybe I was just clicking too much and fast. ;-)

Anyway: I'm posting this with Firefox 3.1b1pre on Ubuntu, and everything is OK again. Firefox 3.0.3 works too.

This is likely what happened. If you run into something like this again, please e-mail the content of your post to inpheaux@gmail.com and I'll figure out which filter is making it bomb out.

Edit: The stuff discussed in this thread has now been resolved. As mentioned above, please contact me directly if you come across something like this, and be ready to provide me exactly what you attempted to post so I can verify it has been fixed.
