Another Test Board Error

[PrincessInOz]

Hi Tech Support,

I just went into the Other Lands section on the new server. Managed to create a new thread without any issues.

I also went into an existing thread to post an update.

When I went to post the message, I got the following error message. The post took a long time before the message popped up.
But despite receiving this error, it would appear that the post did save. Unfortunately, it won't let me back to any part of the forum, so I jumped off it.


ETA. I've gone back into the new server and tried to open the thread. http://209.207.208.129/showthread.php?t=2720766&page=10
It seems to be stuck on the error message below for me.




ps. I've tried responding to a new thread that was created today on the new server CB. I get the same error message.
I created a new thread in the Games section on the new server. When I went back in to reply to it, the reply posted successfully.

Weird, someone else reported a similar error but I can't replicate it!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Would you like me to try again?

 

[WebmasterAlex]

Sure

pps. I'm always willing to post up something sweet....just need to know which way you're bent.

I just changed something, could you try again when you get a chance? Thanks!
