"from" to this beginning we weave a stream of consciousness to attempt to break the forum in the manner than has so many users confuzzled. Even the red underlining of words poses no issues to the stream. There can be only one forum software that functions in the manner described. Maybe it is time to upgrade to SMF 2.0? Who knows? The Grinch certainly does not. Typing with one's eyes closed can lead to numerous typos if one does not know where to place ones fingers on the keyboard. Fortuitously I can type fortuitously with my eyes closed. There has not been any interruption in my stream. The words flow forth like the nasal drippings of a leaky nose (sorry for that visual, still a bit under the weather). And evidently "stull" is a word. Who knows what it means?

Do paragraphs have any impact on this? Not that I've seen. Nor can I find anything in the configurations that would cause these issues. Perchance I should look on the SMF forums to see if this is a known issue. Does formatting have any weight in the issue? None that I've seen. Who knows? Only the shadow knows. And he only talks to Kato. Who is on loan from the Green Hornet because Robin was busy tending to his recently laid egg. Now imagine how much more bizarre this post would be if I'd been imbibing Nyquil?

Hmm, it looks like it is "length of text" related, at least in some cases, since when I divided my AAR text into 2 parts I was able to post it.

But obviously there has to be an additional trigger. If you take a look at my AAR text I had to split it pretty much right there, I could have added another word, but regardless what I would add after this I got the 404. But I think that some of my previous posts were longer as well.

[Vandermeer]

Does it have something to do with using quotes ?

No, that isn't it. I had the problem with this post here in the middle where the weird signs started: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7477.msg77455.html#msg77455

+@CharonJr
This post is short. This post had no special formatting, and no quotes. There was nothing special about the post at all, yet still error. (smiley came in later btw.)

The thing is though that even when the error seem to be random, they are repeatable. If I still knew where exactly I placed those "(" brackets between this extra jumbo mumbojumbo, you would be able to reproduce that result when trying to post it too. So there must be a rule, but after all the testing I did, I can only conclude it is too complex and unforeseeable for humans.
Large posts only tend to look like they fabricate the problem, because through the laws of statistics it becomes of course much more likely to encounter the true error reason in a large text rather than a short one. It has nothing to do with length directly though.

OMG, . Google translate Erik's post. It is so funny and wierd.

[PSI]

OMG, . Google translate Erik's post. It is so funny and wierd.

It's intentionally scrambled Latin, used as filler text. It comes from a work called "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (On the ends of good and evil) by Cicero.

[sloanjh]

Have people seen the failure with freshly-typed text (i.e. no copy-pasting or quoting)?  If not, then my bet would be on a "hidden" (i.e. one that doesn't print in the GUI) character embedded in the corrupt block that's screwing things up....

If so, then "Never mind, ...."

This weekend, or tomorrow depending on how I feel, I'm going to just upgrade the board from 1.20 to 2.0. This will probably change the look and feel somewhat but should not affect the functionality.

[Vandermeer]

Uhuh. Just made a 17k signs post without any problems. Ahh, the little joys of life.

[CharonJr]

No 404s here as well.

[Vandermeer]

Uhuh. Just made a 17k signs post without any problems. Ahh, the little joys of life.

Screw that, the error is still there. Just had a mere 3945 sign post give me the error on the last sentence here: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,7647.msg77592.html#msg77592
There appear to be two cases of errors. Sometimes you just cannot write a certain word or rather sign for some reason, so you need to black that out and can continue as if nothing happened. I had however also two times now had the case where I literally could not write anything more after a certain point, no matter what it was. Has nothing to do with sign count again, as the other time this happened was with a 10k+ post.

...It could be though that maybe the " " free space sign was bugged in those instances, so it was only a different face of the same error, hmm.

[more errors ]

[Vandermeer]

Ok, I wanted to have a quote in the above post, but it would bug out yet again. Same when I instead tried to describe that something was blocking again.

Let's see how this fares in a new post:

No, I can pretty much disprove that, because when it came to figuring out where exactly the error in a given text was, I only copied up to the error producing sentence and then went word by word. Naturally, this is more easy to do by typing anew instead of copying, so this error indeed comes up every time you fresh type the very same constellation that lead to the error.


// Well, it worked. So it really is just the combination of signs in some way. The part here was causing a problem, but separated it works fine again.
