- Toggling BB Code on before hitting "post reply" worked for me (three dots on the far right for "more options" and then square brackets "[ ]"). -- (thx mr. Ruprecht -- Image explanation in post #3)

- If you are trying to post -- don't quote images -- smiles -- emojis or anything of the sort. I'd just also avoid using multi-quote altogether. If what you are quoting has images of any kind in it -- delete them out of the quote box.

- If you are trying to edit or make a live post and have an image or emoji in yer post -- delete the image -- it seems to be a massive problem. Simply do not have an image in your post when you go to to hit post.

- Use something like imgur (https://imgur.com/) code in there. If you use [ IMG ] tags, and place them where you want your images -- it seems to manually let you do so. However, if you go to EDIT yer post -- and it has the image in there -- you will have to DELETE the image, and place the manual [ IMG ] tags -- same goes for smiles or emojis.

- Before you make your post -- Copy what you are posting -- refresh the browser -- paste the shit back in and hit post once ready. Don't do this with actual images -- use the [ IMG ] tags. Live image/emojis CANNOT be in the editor when you post.

This be what he is talking about -- but it if ya know simple bb code you can also format it into the normal editor anyways. My screenshots are going to make this look like inception, but the premise stands -- you don't want certain "elements" in the "live" editor -- as the forums seem to automatically reject yer post.

You just did, didn't you? -- or you mean a specific forum or section?

Is it a long post, paragraph formatting?

It was this

Some of our Sher-locks have posited that the issue comes with trying to post images. I know that's what started the issue on my desktop (though it wasn't like I could always post when not using a picture, but trying to post a picture did pre-empt my getting the error repeatedly), but couldn't tell you if that's what happened with my phone.

*I tried to post this 2 days ago. Turning on BB code worked.

I can only guess it was the slight use of color.

Phone still wouldn't work though, even without any bracket codes in the post

Can't reply to your messages get an error every time. Maybe the fix posted here will help. I'll give it go

Addressed... or undressed...? -- Whatever it is you weirdos do behind the curtain -- and no problem man, easier to just keep updating known solutions than 27 separate posts,

IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO MY MAIN POST LIST -- JUST SUGGEST IT.

Finally switched back to Chrome... and this is the work around for said browser.

I was balancing firefox (trust me, it has it's reasons) and chrome. I know FF gets dumped on, but there's a lot of shit you can do that isn't "seen" to mod certain versions into outright ignoring most MODERN forms of annoying web crap -- it also has the old quick/book toolbar, which if yer scouring like 30+ sites and wanna open em all across 3 screens, is pretty fuckin' handy.
