No problem @Mi-Amigo. Can you let me know the exact wording of the error message. There are several flood prevention messages so it would be helpful to narrow it down. Thanks!

Thank you @Martin-O2 for getting this looked into.

Unfortunately I can`t provide a screenshot but hopefully @Cleoriff or one of the others might.

Not today @Mi-Amigo @Martin-O2  as it hasn't happened to me. My problems were yesterday during the Word Hunt Diamond Quiz. The red Box appears at the top of your post. It says

POST FLOODING DETECTED. THE UNIQUE MESSAGE HAS APPEARED 3,600 TIMES. TRY AGAIN LATER

So I deleted the word which was in capitals and wrote it in lower case and it then went through immediately.

The WHD yesterday was a really fast flowing game with words being given in rapid succession, so it was totally frustrating when you have to piddle about to get a word posted!

[Mi-Amigo]

@Martin-O2 

The message I got was as the wording  @Cleoriff had.

And thing are going from bad to worse.

I tried posting today`s WRQ and did a trial thread - 

https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-Topic/WRQ/m-p/1543099/thread-id/252183

I tried editing it with info and questions for today`s WRQ. Having spent ages typing, clicked Post and the HTML message comes up. Click post and message appears again. So can`t edit and post correct quiz for today.

Could you please delete this thread -

https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-Topic/WRQ/m-p/1543099/thread-id/252183

as it is NOT today`s quiz.

I guess today`s WRQ will have to be abandoned and apologise to all our regular quizzers for matters beyond my control. 

[Cleoriff]

Quite shameful that you have to abandon today's quiz due to problems with the damn platform provider.

My favourite part of Wednesday @Mi-Amigo 

With reference to the answers of Mondays quiz, can you just write the results without the stars or awards to let us all know how we did?

PS @Martin-O2 and @Mi-Amigo I got this message when I tried to post this message

[Martin-O2]

Thank you both for the detail on this. I've raised a support ticket to have this investigated. I'll give you an update as soon as I hear back and I'll remove that topic for you @Mi-Amigo. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

[Cleoriff]

@Martin-O2 

Here we go. I got TWO error messages when trying to post above. This was the Post Flooding one

It took me 10 minutes to post the message above this one...and I got it to post eventually by removing a crying emoji I had included.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @Cleoriff 

I`ll have a go at giving the awards without stars and Thinker images.

SILVER THINKERS - 8 correct = @Cleoriff @BobM @pgn @MI5 

BRONZE THINKER + 1 star - 7 correct = @jonsie 

BRONZE THINKER - 6 correct = @gmarkj 

RED THINKER + 1 star - 5 correct = @lewys-gp @J9el 

3 stars - 3 correct = @Spenny 

2 stars - 2 correct = @TallTrees @RafaC 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @Martin-O2 

The messages I`ve been getting are the same as those in @Cleoriff latest post on here ^^

[Cleoriff]

So by my deductions @Martin-O2 @Mi-Amigo the fault is image related.

I removed two emoji's and it posted. The WRQ is full of images and gets the two error messages I've shown above.

[Cleoriff]

Thanks for the results @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone. xx
