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.

 


If that`s the case, then radical changes would have to be made to WRQ - wth loss of images of Thinkers and stars which would spoil elements of the quiz which I know quizzers and observers enjoy.

I will wait and see what feedback I get from @Martin-O2 enquiries/report.

Hopefully, Monday`s WRQ Easter Quz will go ahead as planned - even if the Thinker and star images have to be ommited.

Without doubt image related @Martin-O2 @Mi-Amigo 

I have just posted on the main board HERE included a laughing emoji and got the post flooding message. Removed emoji and wrote lol instead and it posted immediately.

Maybe you need to feed this back @Martin-O2 ?

@Martin-O2 and @Cleoriff 

TEST - emoji [star] used in WRQ.

Just tried 

@Cleoriff Q1 correct - awarded [star emoji] - threw up error message, had to delete post

 

So problem is definitely and proved to be including emoji in WRQ thread.

Hope this helps @Martin-O2 and can now be quickly solved and not drag on with weekend and Bank Hol looming.

Both @Mi-Amigo and myself are using laptops @pgn 

I've just tested again at 1.30 and no change. Lucky you. I expect you are using mobile?
