Apparent new size limitation on posts

[DataDan]

Today I attempted to edit my post here, a list of 86 links, with descriptions, to BARF and other posts. When I try to save--even when making no changes--I get this:

An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

Faithfully yours, nginx.​

With some testing, I found that I could save the post only by deleting list items. Then I eliminated the list, just posting links and descriptions, with the same result.

The next post in this thread is a test case with 57 lines. To see the effect, edit the post, expanding it by duplicating one line. The error shown above will be displayed.

OMG.

Info overload.

I will share with my tech dude.

We have noted some issues with email notifications and that is on our tech plate now.

Chiming in:

Interesting problem. The max chars post limit is 200k characters. Your OP (BB Code) is only 14270 characters. So you're no where near that particular limit.

Of course the workaround would be a second post. But I'll be looking in to this problem.

200k character successful thread/post :nchantr

Yes. Fails as I previously posted, with URLs. Same post succeeds when modified to remove URL tags and prevent recognition as URL.

Thanks for looking into this.

Tested again trying to narrow down conditions, and it is fixed. Both the test case in post #2 and the original problem in the 1Rider thread work as expected.

Thank you. :thumbup

You're welcome.

Honestly, no config change just looked it up to confirm. And considering you indicated it was an nginx problem, troubleshooting would involve looking at the server errors logs of this very, very busy website manually... That's a needle/haystack problem.

The special thing about URLs is that spammers will post them, and spam detection tools will take an interest in them. So maybe some resource limit or bug related to that.

Thanks B!!


Your test was amusing. :rofl
