From two different computers, on two different boards, I've gotten an error message telling me the server couldn't understand my browser's request when I tried to post. But in between those two, I was able to start the Gmail thread below. ??? ??? ???
 
And although it allowed me to start this thread, it wouldn't let me edit my post.

You might have some kind of foreign character in your post -- I've had that problem before.

What's the error message say?

i've been having posting issues, too.
 
So have I. I finally C&P'd what I had into a plain text document and then C&P'd from there onto the board.

I'm pretty sure that was it. I had copied and pasted one from an AP feed. Not sure what was wrong with the other.

Stupid Intertubes.

Yep, sounds like there's a foreign character somewhere. Check all your apostrophes and quote marks.

mine happens when i try to insert one of the little smiling bastards. consequently, everybody thinks i'm a prick tonight.

So I'd get to punch him in the face 100 times and the balls 200 times instead of 50 and 100?

I'd tell you have to have a beer, but the alcohol might make you angrier.
 
I've had them for a while, but I don't think it's got anything to do with foreign characters.

Well, there is Flash. ...
 
I've been having trouble posting ever since the board was down for a while yesterday. Don't know if it's related. I get "webpage not found" when I finish and hit the "post" button sometimes. Other times I'm OK.
I don't think I have an issue with foreign characters, although I never found Esa Tikkanen particularly helpful.

You ever play NHL '94? Tikkanen is quite good in that game. He's helped me to a couple Stanley Cups in my time.
