    Weird Posting Thing I'm Noticing

    So I've had a couple of issues lately with regards to posting story content in the Creative Writing Story topic, and my novel topic.

    The first is: has there been a word-count limit or ezcode (whatever the tabs are called) limit that I'm not aware of? I posted 60 pages all at once in the CWS3 topic last year, and this year I could barely get 20 pages in there, so I had to effectively cut down my additions. Not a big issue, just one I'd like some clarification on so that I can avoid mishaps like this in the future.

    The next issue is: Since the forum upgrade, whenever I go to post a chapter in my novel topic, it acts like I tried to submit the same post twice. It accepts it, but at the same time it stays in the Post screen and tells me I have to wait 30 seconds to post again. Not sure why this is only happening with the longer Chapter posts I make, but it's been happening every time since the forum upgrade.

    improved spam protection. the word limit has not changed, but the forum software thinks you're trying to spam. that's the reason for both of your problems.

    basically, it can now tell that you're not typing all that yourself, and that you're pasting huge blocks of text into the entry field. it doesnt like that.

      Cool. I can live with the issues, just thought it might be something you didn't know about.

        So all would one have to do, is just type a few words, delete, then paste to get around it?

          Not likely. Because I generally type in some stuff before I paste huge blocks of text, and still get the messages.
