OK -serious point. The thread has 192 pages, and is very picky heavy. I suspect that the allocated storage space is exhausted, and would need to be expanded to allow more posts.

Solutions -

1) Allocate more space - but would have to remove from somewhere else.

2) Close and archive the current thread, starting a new one.

I suspect several other threads may hit similar problems, let you guess which

Thanks, Ian.
That makes sense, even to a muppet like me.

I notice 'The other thread' has quite a few more pages.....But perhaps the piccies are much smaller 'file wise' ? (I'm sure there are some really big files in ATO4G)
I'll let Leon know.....If he hasn't already spotted this.

Maybe...As you say....If nothing else....We'll have to start a "A tale of four gamers" part two ?
I could delete the last post in the thread to see what happens...But I'd rather not mess around with stuff I don't really understand.

In a long career as an IT person, I have discovered that the two main causes of ICT problems are:

     1) Fingers
     2) Brains

These two need to be eliminated before as a cause of the error before any deeper investigation is undertaken.

It's usually a PICNIC error.

Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.

I know it as PEBKAC - Problem exists between keyboard and chair!

I've done a couple of quick tests on it, deleted a couple of old posts in it, but not fixed unfortunately.  As much as it pains me to say, Ian might be right about something and the thread could have reached it's limit... 

So, would SteveJ like the honour of starting us a fresh 'A Tale of...' thread?

Just tried posting a new batrep and all I got was this:

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

Re-tried, but no pics linked this time and it still failed

Whenever I get it, I just copy the text, click a new reply in the original thread. Paste the text and remove one word or point or something. Usually that allows me to post

Must add that it never fails when posting by mobile...

Tried to post a one line reply to DFlynSqrl about his dwarves and got an error message saying to try again and report if it failed a second time but when I tried to repost I was told I'd already posted the message. Checked but no post from me listed so tried again. Eventually quoted DFlynSqrl and added my comment and it worked no problem. So if there are fifty million responses in the thread, all from me then .... Oops! Sorry!

I had the same issue.  I changed the "Subject:" to something completely different and it let me post finally.

Still no joy this morning in allowing me to post a New Topic in the Batreps section . Exactly the same error message as before.

I'm having a problem posting in DFlynSqrl's Warband thread......"Hacking attempt !"

Cheers - Phil

Me too.

Me three

Still getting a Database Error message when trying start a new topic in Batreps

....."Hacking attempt !"

First couple of times I got that message I thought the computer was just being critical of my painting skills.
