 Posted: Thu May 21, 2020 12:23 pm Post subject: Error in Posting |
 |
|
Hi all,
I've tried several times to post in the Kernel forum, but I always get an "Error in Posting" error, and the post isn't published. "View my posts" says I have a number to suggest they have been posted, but there's nothing in the list.
I have searched the forums, and the only relevant post I can find is about the title. I've tried re-posting with very simple titles, but all to no avail. The post I was trying to publish was very long, with Dmesg, .config etc in Code brackets, if that makes a difference?
Any help would be appreciated.  |

| Instead of pasting long output using code tags, you may try using wgetpaste instead. |

The issue is likely related to this.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I saw that, which is why I tried several times with increasingly simple titles. No matter, I've managed to post what I wanted, though my linked logs aren't working, so wgetpaste here we come...
Thanks all. |

As fturco implied, it is not just titles being overly long (in practice, over 60 characters as escaped for storage), post bodies can and do trigger the same misbehavior. |

Gotcha. Sorry, the ink in the thread quoted, the same info I’d found, suggested just the titles. It’s a moot point now as I’ve now used wgetpaste effectively. Nice tool! |

You have nothing to apologize for, you encountered a bug; the worst it should do for overlength posts, or titles, or whatever else is silently truncate them; current behavior is notably less user friendly than even that rather low bar. I was just making it explicit that titles are only one of the things affected by the bug. |
