I didn't mean ya'll I meant my post, but still feel free to feel the angst along with me.

Don't know if this helps or not, but I get the errors under Chrome browser (cookies / cleared cache / logged in again etc). But posting under Firefox on the same PC seems to work fine, at least no errors yet, and I can attach pictures and edit posts normally.

[Ianab]

Forget that, Firefox started throwing the same errors.

I'm using mircrosoft edge 10 on my laptop and this is a test to see if I have any issues with posting a message on the thread. Not that I have noticed but I haven't posted anything lately. I've just been reading about everyone else. What they have done and what issues they have run into. I don't usually view the forum on my phone. But have in the past when I get an email saying that I have a pm and I have the laptop shut down for the evening.

After Ian's Chrome comment I tried pasting 9 line post in Edge and still got db error. I guess 1 line is it for me.

Jeff. Lurk, et al:

I looked up the error online and came across another post that said that one cause was the database language(ascii characters) were not all set to UTF-8.  One error read /xC2 which is a Latin Capital A with circumflex(little squiggly line above it).  Also, I just attempted to use the modify selection under more... and got a DB error.  Quick edit does not throw the error. What does the log show?

I posted a 13 line post, short lines with carriage returns on my custom rifle topic no problem.  When I tried to type in a few lines from a Tale of Two cities with no carriage returns, it didn't take it.  Not sure if that helps or muddies the waters.

[rusticretreater]

Sounds like it may be configuration error on the length of the strings allowed by the code.  Hopefully there is something in the log files about what error is being thrown.

[mudfarmer]

Carriage returns or no, both Firefox and chrome don't work on this phone

Unless it's a short post

[Nfo]I was having a lot of trouble with the winch, just free spooling. Not a big guy, it was all I had to put a foot against butt plate and spool off 6ft at a time. Obviously not going to move any wood that way and most trees are a ways from the trail. Took it apart a few times and adjusted, played with valve and cable but just couldn't make it better.

Yesterday it was too warm to skid so after work I took it apart AGAIN. A lot of head scratching and wrench turning and staring at the book later I figured it out but had to run to town for parts. I hope nobody needs a fine thread 7/16 nut because I bought the last one in a 20 mile radius and just that one nut fixed it so it is perfect.

Someone had the winch apart and left out the "special nut" on the slave cylinder. With that nut missing the stroke of the cylinder isn't long enough to fully release the brake band.

Now I know why the seller had custom wrenches he could find in 30sec and asked if I had ever adjusted one of these winches, and another time said he was getting too old to pull the cable. One missing nut. Honestly probably why he sold the skidder [/nfo]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Hey this worked, it's the first time.  Good job.

I might have something. When I type a sentence I always put two spaces after the period. If I do as normal and hit the preview it just sits there. If I than hit the post button I get the dreaded database error.

When I only put one space after the period at the end of the sentence it will preview as it should. Hit the post and it goes as it should. Tested a few times and I believe this is fact not chance.

[WV Sawmiller]

Testing Preview function - works here. Did not work in General board when I pasted 9 lines in. Just froze.
