Adrian Elkin Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Just been trying to "post new topic" on the above forum this afternoon/evening with no success. Don't know why as I posted on Tech Talk no problem. Have I been banned? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Elkin Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 Works on here too! So why not Chit Chat? (I now brace myself for Alex W. to come back at me with some witty remark! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrey A.O. Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I created a new username and password as you can see, and I STILL can't post a new topic on Chit Chat, so it must be something on my PC perhaps. Any ideas Barry? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Manager Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I've got plenty of ideas, but I suspect that you wouldn't want to hear them. Are you getting any error messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Now I've got the same problem! HELP! I'll try another post in this area. Ian - MI 5EVN - Sumpless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I hate computers ❗ Just returned to Chit Chat, and it took 12 seconds to load (on an ADSL connection with only items from Last Day selected) ☹️ Tried to post a new topic again and it worked ❗ *confused* Came back to 'Bugs' and again it took 10-15 seconds to load the Bugs page (and with only 'Last day' selected) *confused* Ian - MI 5EVN - Sumpless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Manager Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Adrian, If you're using IE can you go to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and makes sure that the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" box is not ticked, then try again so that I can get a better error message please?

Adrian Elkin Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 I think I know why now. Error message read: Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e57' The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. /post_info.asp, line 656 Let me just try something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Elkin Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Sussed it. The title was too long by a smidge! Shortened it and now everything works fine. Whats the maximum number of characters for a title Barry? Humbly yours Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
