Tired of seeing this error message popup when you're trying to post a thread or comment?
"Oops! We ran into some problems.
Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console."
A.K.A the
500 Internal Server Error
nginx/1.20.1
I think it appears because of badly formatted html that was pasted into post editor or the post exceeds the character limit set by the site admins or just the server refusing POST traffic for whatever reason.
my method of minimizing my encounter with this error requires posting a thread solely in BBcode( BBcode is enabled when the editor functions are greyed out).
BBcode enabled
BBcode disabled(HTML editor enabled)
posting in BBcode is more complex than using the HTML editor so the 2nd part to my solution is using another xenforo forum to properly format my post then copy/paste it to the coli.
go to :
https://xenforo.com/community/forums/xenforo-suggestions.18/post-thread
xenforo.com
1. copy and paste whatever you want into the xenforo thread editor with
HTML editor enabled,
2. on xenforo site, toggle to BBcode and copy the post body of your bbcode
3. on the coli the bbcode must be enabled, paste the bbcode from the xenforo site.
4. click post thread, if clicking post thread doesn't work the first time just press an 1-3 more times
5. if you see this loading indicator(upper right corner) that lasts for more than 5 seconds, then the post won't go thru and you must refresh the page and paste the text again.
protip:
you can use a browser like Vivaldi to and add the xenforo site to the web-panel with 'show desktop version' switched on to access bbcode toggle button and post more easily.
