I am having a problem posting in the Thursday Next Forum. I can post in the others, but if I try and post in that forum, I get a white screen with stuff like this one below on it- it's happened several times now. Help!

Duplicate entry '5453' for key 1
Insert Into ThursdayNext_bodies (id, body, thread) values (0, 'I seem to be unable to post in this forum. I can read them, and I can post in the other forums, but when I hit the post button in this one I get a white screen with my post ebedded in what looks like code- it tells me I have duplicate 5431 key (or something similar.) What is going wrong, and what do I do to get this technology to like me? It\'s doing it on two separate computers, on two seperate days, so it\'s not just a one off. ', 0)Duplicate entry '0' for key 1

Well, Ook, you're not alone. The Thursday Next fforum is what we tech support people call 'stuffed'. Literally and mettyforically - it's just had too many posts, and the server can't cope. So for the moment we have to spread ourselves about in the other 3 fforums.

We are assured the web-elves are looking into it.

Interesting point about the new fforums - if you make a typo in the topic header, you can change it and it'll change in the list of threads too, which some forums don't let you do. Useful.

Ah. It's not just me then. I had a moment of terrible computer paranoia and thought the system had decided to censor me alone, cos it hated me........

Well, it might be that as well...

(just because you're paranoid doesn't mean it likes you...)

You should have seen the amount of times I tried to post in the Thursday Next fforum! "Typical!" I thought. "As soon as I get to liking a forum, it stops liking me!"
And then I emailed PSD about it... Really annoying too - I'd just managed to complete the quiz, and wanted to tell everyone (I know - about 24 hours after y'all managed it)

Erm, please read that as 'not being able to post was really annoying too', as opposed to 'PSD was as annoying as not being able to post', lol

Unless Jo isn't telling me something...

Yeah - I actually had a paragraph break in between those two bits....
