"Something went wrong" when posting on the web version.

Question

I prefer the web version when posting stuff 'cause my typing is better on PC than on phone. This error usually occured and won't allow me to submit my post. When I tried cutting my post in half, it worked.

So I suppose this may be something with exceeding word limit. That doesn't make sense though, as I had written posts longer than (2x) the one I'm talking about.

Any clarification? It would be nice to know the cause other than just "Something went wrong".

Answer 1

So here's a prior post regarding character limits in questions vs answers:

The app has a much lower limit (512).

Answer 2

Not a very helpful error message is it?

There should be a character count at the bottom to indicate whether that is the cause of the problem.

Otherwise, in my experience, it's almost always a connection error (either SoloLearn's server, net non-neutrality by the ISP, or a bandwidth splitting issue on my end).

Not sure if this helps.

Answer 3

I tested many posts with various length on both my PC and phone so the chance of it being a connection error is pretty low. I'm currently unable to think of anything else beside word limit.

Maybe a question description is processed differently from an answer, since all long posts I had written on the web are replies to questions.

Answer 4

Janning⭐ Thanks for the provided links. I suspected word limit because the error goes away when reducing my post to certain word count.

It's not the same situation as in the app where you can't type anymore when you exceed the limit.
