Hey All,
Proboards did something behind scenes, which is causing posting to be very difficult and more often than not a failure. This is more evident in longer posts, but is not limited to that alone. This is currently being looked into, but that said? That doesn't help us right this moment!
The error is an inability to be able to post, 90% of the time being directed to a code error screen instead. This redirect not only is a bother, but it nukes the auto save feature, meaning that if you rely upon this normally reliable attribute? You WILL lose your posts or comments. You will need to copy or save every post beforehand to make sure it is not nuked, and possibly try multiple times in order to make it go through.
There seems to be a workaround though if you use the Quick Reply box at the bottom of threads. This may not be completely reliable though, but it has a higher success rate.
Editing posts also poses this issue, so once something is posted? It is STAYING there unless you have an admin delete it for you to retry, so be careful!
This is just a friendly callout to make sure no one loses anything of high value!
