cixelsyd Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 For several hours now, whenever I try to post to the thread "It is time for the business of the activity to evolve", I get a 500 internal server error. Try that too many times, and I lose access to the whole site for 30-60 minutes. Yet I can post to other threads without difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Been getting these for a while now in the 2002 season review thread too. Same as above - you get it 4-5 times, then lose access to the site. I wondered if it was because I was posting my 10-million word essay on the season - is there a character limit for posts? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 A couple years ago, I had this happen to me when I tried to post Bushwackers' rep during DCA championships. It turns out one of the words in the rep was also a SQL command, which is the backend of the forums. The site doesn't allow SQL commands in posts because they could be potential hacking attempts. Since I didn't know what was happening, I tried to post about 4-5 times, which led to my getting locked out of the site. If you want to email your post text to me (editor@dcpnews.com), I can review it and let you know if I see anything SQL-esque in them, but I bet that's what is happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this offer still up for grabs? I'm facing a similar issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were the one who emailed me, right? I actually haven’t been in the forums recently, so I hope I was able to answer your questions via that email.
