We all know that nothing is perfect, and this message board is no exception. If/when you notice something wrong (either an error or something acting strangely/wrongly), please post it here along with a quick description of what you were doing, and any other information you think might help.

Thanks!
Phil

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.
I let no one see me cry, but the product of those tears are those poems that I share here.

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

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.
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

Specific reasons for General error:
Please only access this script in the correct manner

Do you want to access the forum help files?

Possible reasons for General error:
Password Incorrect
Username incorrect
Unregistered member

Part of the unregistered member was in light blue as was also the words help files.
I know that I was entered in the site because it welcomed me by name after I had entered my password.

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.
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:

-----
Software error:

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (wwwadmin@aodnetwork.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Time and date are about the same as when this is posted. The post I was trying to report was this one: http://poetsquill.aodnetwork.com/forums/topic.cgi?topic=46

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.

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 here.
