I was trying to post a poem in the poetry section but everytime I try an error comes up. I'm actually suprised that this was posted.

Do you happen to remember what the error was (or some part of it)?

I should mention, if you have a problem and are unable to post/login/etc, then you can email me at <a href="mailto:phil@codeallday.com">phil@codeallday.com</a>.

I joined Sunday 24th October and find that although I can post replies to messages and comments on poetry I can't start a new topic or post poetry myself. <br>I too get an error reoport which seems to suggest that I am not registered.

Following on I tried again the day after and all I got when I tried to post was <br> <br>Specific reasons for General error: <br>Please only access this script in the correct manner <br> <br>Do you want to access the forum help files? <br> <br>Possible reasons for General error: <br>Password Incorrect <br>Username incorrect <br>Unregistered member <br> <br>Part of the unregistered member was in light blue as was also the words help files. <br>I know that I was entered in the site because it welcomed me by name after I had entered my password. <br><br><br><!--EDIT:1098683437:Ben Grader-->

The biggest problem with the code for this board is that the HTML is generates is horrible. The only problem I could find is that the form for posting a new topic was missing a '<', which probably confused your browser and made it not understand the next bit of information, which would cause that error. <br>Hopefully this should be fixed up now.

I tried to use the "Report this post to a moderator" link for something, and I got this error: <br> <br>----- <br>Software error: <br> <br>syntax error at report.cgi line 33, near "my $query = "SELECT t.id topic_id, t.title, t.forum, p.id, p.author, p.date, p.post FROM ${Config::prefix}topics t, ${Config" <br> (Might be a runaway multi-line gg string starting on line 30) <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 30, <DATA> line 64. <br>"my" variable $Ikon::sql can't be in a package at report.cgi line 31, near "= $Ikon::sql" <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 31, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 142, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 144, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 152, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 154, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 174, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 176, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 180, <DATA> line 64. <br>Global symbol "$query" requires explicit package name at report.cgi line 182, <DATA> line 64. <br>Missing right curly or square bracket at report.cgi line 191, within pattern <br>report.cgi has too many errors. <br> <br>For help, please send mail to the webmaster (wwwadmin@aodnetwork.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. <br>--- <br> <br>Time and date are about the same as when this is posted.

I've fixed the problem with the "report post" feature, it ought to be working now, though there are still a few kinks to work out. <br> <br>As for the post you wanted to report, I took at a look at it (and some of the other posts in the forum) and posted something about it <a href="http://poetsquill.aodnetwork.com/forums/topic.cgi?topic=90">here</a>.<br><br><!--EDIT:1121357635:Phil-->
