Sorry, don't really know where to post this, but I've been seeing a lot of weird errors in the forum today.
"An error occurred. Please try again or contact your administrator" is returned when:
- parens are used in certain ways (it's hard to pin exactly what causes the error, but I've seen errors caused by open paren followed by closed paren, as well as parens surrounding multiple paragraphs)
- you post any kind of code (unless it doesn't have parens lol)
- you post any kind of link at all. Plain text URLs are fine - they will be converted to links after the post is submitted. But if you edit a post that has a link, you have to replace it with a plain text URL before submitting the edit
- you use the forum quote feature, bc it generates a link to the quoted post. text can be manually styled with the blockquote format, though
The weirdest thing is it doesn't seem to happen consistently on every thread. For example, I think this thread will be mostly fine (I've already made and deleted test threads.) (I can't use the quote feature in this thread tho)
But I think the following thread have the problems I described above:
[https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/389883/calling-srand-multiple-times]
It's pretty easy to recreate - just reply with a link or edit an existing comment with a link, and the forum will return the same error as described above.
I'm not sure if the forum is applying some sort of "enhanced security" to certain threads?
EDIT: Also, I just tried to paste an image into this very post and I got the same error. Pasting an image in a reply also fails. Same with using an image URL.
So it seems that the problem with images is more widespread than the problems with links and parens.
