"Error contacting server. Try again later or ask for help in the forums." - unable to save teases

Post by Shattered »

Repeating error here - I identified one case that turned it on and off.

This error occurred when I had any slides set to use random image based on filter and tried to save. When I selected the image manually, or it was the default *.jpg, no errors occurred.

However its come up again. Tis real inconvenient, don't know that I'll be able to do much until this is resolved :( It seems the delay function is triggering this now for me, and that is kind of incredibly important to making a flashtease a flashtease ^^;

I posted a similar problem buried in the NYX feedback.
I had saved some stuff, got the server error
and logged out when I got back in.. none of my saves had worked.
still true to my own self...even with a lot of changes

unfortunately the star symbol could be classified as "select all" in a sql injection so cloudflares firewall is blocking it.

Some people have been finding different browsers allow the scripts to be posted to the server

Hmm, if that might work I'd love to hear what works for people. I'm on firefox, mayhaps I'll test some later :lol:

I tested pic("*.jpg") on chrome earlier and it worked, but it might be also to do with other words stopping it

If you have any of the following words in your text it wont save. Just remove these words and try it.

name, limit, show, distinct, having, top, style, when, then, !,

This is because it looks for code injection.

However, I found a workarond for this. If you change

Code: Select all

name
for example to

Code: Select all

nam<span></span>e
in the code, it will get displayed as name but won't get identified as such when it looks for code injection because of the empty span tag.

I could not reproduce the error by only using exclamation marks. I successfully tested this workaround with a >2000 words Webtease (which is still work in progress :-D )

That's interesting to know :) Any similar applications for timers?

I did find a workaround for delays indeed. :yes:

If I use

Code: Select all

style:hidden
or

Code: Select all

style:secret
in a delay the error occurs. But if I only write

Code: Select all

hidden
or

Code: Select all

secret
without the

Code: Select all

style:
there is no error and it works as expected.

For hidden delays there is also the possibility to write the delay at the 5th parameter of the page command (which are hidden elements).

Thanks. I've made a note of where I need to add these onto my tease and will go back and see if I can fix it with these once it's done :)

I've added an exemption to the Cloudflare firewall for the Nyx "save script" feature. Please LMK if you continue to have any issues.

Thank you, could you do the same for /forum/posting.php and /forum/ucp.php ? as it is stopping some people posting scripts in the forums/PMs + stopping some emotions/bbcodes from being posted
