Error message when trying to post on discussions

[Jennifer]

Hi all,

I'm new to the site and I'm getting an "Invalid Data" message when I try to post photos to theme discussions. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I've read other discussions on how to post and am pretty sure I'm doing what I am supposed to. Are there some settings on my computer or something I need to change? I've been trying for 2 days!

And FYI, I am able to post just text but can't attach a photo with it.

Jennifer, ive posted this lovely shot of yours and it works ok. Are you definately copying the whole of the share code?

I'm getting this same problem, both with my own photos, and i just tried it with the same photo you posted above @juliehill. it just doesn't seem to want to let me!

@soupermario @jzpanda3 You guys are copying all the code from inside the share box correct? It is the box below the actual share button and has the words "copy and paste code" to the right of it.

@shadesofgrey yes, it's the code im copying.

@soupermario Hmm, well maybe @scrivna is working on it then.....there seems to be bugs this time of year with all the traffic and new accounts.

@shadesofgrey thanks for trying to help

What is probably happening is the site thinks you are trying to spam the discussion boards, I'll give it a tweak to see if i can stop it happening for you.

@soupermario @jzpanda3 it should work fine now, sorry about that! there was a typo in the spam detection! thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Enjoy your projects.

Works beautifully, thanks @Scrivna !
