Getting this error when trying to post in this thread:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/gripes/38859-coach-challenge-ruling-appeal/
right now.

It has happened in the past sometimes when trying to send PMs - I think it has to do with too many URLs in the post/PM, or a specific URL that triggers this error?

I am able to make the post in three separate pieces. It doesn't have to do with what thread it is posted it, same error if I try in this thread.

You used that word "worried" twice. If you really think that, you're more off base in your thinking about this whole matter than anyone realized.

Well, right now I just got the server error on this thread even when posting something that doesn't include any URLs. Interesting.

Maybe a certain set of punctuation triggers the block.

Perhaps try taking all three pieces of my post (edit/copy), pasting them into one and posting them at once. If you too get the server error, then try eliminating bits until the post is sustained without error. That might solve what is triggering the block.

Confirmed, yes. I was able to post everything in one post.

Getting this error when trying to send a PM just now. It has to do I assume with that there is a URL in the PM, when I remove the URL the PM goes through.

I got the error again today when I tried to send a PM. It definitely has to do with when there is a URL in the PM.

I tried putting spaces in the URL - same error.

When I removed entirely the
https://
portion of the URL, and made it (for example)

wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/help/38860-forbidden-you-dont-have-permission-to-access-this-resource/#post919131

the PM did go through.

How many PM's do you send?

I would guess I have sent less than 20 PM's in the 12 years I have been on this site.

One for each million I've beaten the casinos for, per day "or so." Rounded down of course.

When I'm active on the site, that is.

I was really curious. Do people use that feature more than once a week?

It depends on the day.
About 2600 over the last 3 years or so, but it's not evenly distributed, and I don't have a green/blue breakdown.

I believe there was a database cleanup at some point, so I expect to be missing some legacy metadata.

edit: about 2600 in, about 2800 sent.

I think of the PM system here as the shadow forum -the shadow realm of the WOV forum. Things are said there that wouldn't be said in public. People ask for and get explanations of what is happening on the public posts. Business gets transacted - or at least it gets started and usually switches to email systems that are external to WOV.

I have about 1,975 PMs in and have sent about 1,050 PMs out.

Of course, I'm a moderator so that inflates my numbers - talking to Dieter and Wiz and members who want their enemies to be disemboweled and then hung. But even in my pre-moderator days my PMs had some interesting transactions on them.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.
