ober Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Are you trying to post code or just a text response?There are some permissions errors that could result in that error that the admins are working on. In the meantime, may I suggest [a href=\"http://pastebin.com/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://pastebin.com/[/a] as an alternative for posting code?

ober Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It allows you to post code and then you take the link that it provides and post that in any question you post about.Interesting that you get that without posting code. Hopefully an admin will see this and respond.

Guest footballkid4 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]10.4.7 406 Not AcceptableThe resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection. Note: HTTP/1.1 servers are allowed to return responses which are not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request. In some cases, this may even be preferable to sending a 406 response. User agents are encouraged to inspect the headers of an incoming response to determine if it is acceptable.If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further actions.

michaellunsford Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 I was eventually able to post the issue... I had a <a href="javascript thing in the message, and had to escape the quotes... after that, it worked fine.
