    Obviously the thread I wanted to create has been banned by the hyper intelligent software

    Can not say what it was about or the universe will cease to function and we will all die

    And I will get Error 502 Bad gateway malformed reply from origin server

    Maybe it's a specific word in the title?

    text of banned post

    Whilst doing my media sweep for work.

    (Bringing transport related stories to the attention of senior officers)

    I came across this story from the Times Online

    A British schooner docked in Penzance yesterday carrying 30,000 bottles of wine on a voyage that enthusiasts believe will herald a return to wind power in merchant shipping.

    The first commercial cargo of French wine to be transported by sail in the modern era is due in Dublin this week after a six-day journey, which is being touted as a green and ultimately cheap alternative to fuel propulsion.

    The 108-year-old, wooden, triple-masted Kathleen & May has been chartered by the Compagnie de Transport Maritime à la Voile (CTMV), a shipping company established in France to specialise in merchant sailing. “This is beyond anybody's dreams,” said Steve Clarke, the owner of the Kathleen & May, which was built in 1900 in Ferguson and Baird's yard at Connah's Quay near Chester.

    “When I bought this boat in 1966 it was going to be cut up with chainsaws. Nobody ever imagined it would ever sail again.” He said that amid high fuel costs and concern over carbon emissions, commercial sailing ships could have a future. “I think they might have hit on something.”
    I vaguely remember that some clipper ships like the Cutty Sark could out run some of the early steam ships of its day.

    So perhaps it is time to bring back these clipper ships as it was a proven design.

    Or post it with a generic name and get the mods to add in the title you want when they wake up.

    Sticks, for feeling like you can't create a thread, you seem to have succeeded in spawning 6 of them...

    This was so frustrating, it would not allow me to create the one thread I really wanted to start, but the test threads it was fine with.

    I did try and delete the OP's of the test threads but it would not let me like you can on some other boards.

    The test threads can be merged and locked if that will help matters.

    Tell the truth, you tried to divide by zero and got a rectal-cranial inversion for your troubles.

    You could have, I don't know, maybe just tried a different title for the thread? Cats can be skinned in many ways.

    I tried that

    got

    Error 502 Bad Gateway Malformed Reply from Origin


    I was trying to see what could be causing it

    Using the thumb up emoticon
    Having a link in the op
    Using the word clipper in the title

    It seemed it did not like the title I wanted and would not allow me to create the thread using the OP text with any title

    I'm surprised that Gillianren doesn't chime in on this one. I do suspect there may be a language barrier issue that she forgives.

    I forgive it myself because I'm not great with linguistics. Although; I do see this lots of times, and just thought I'd mention it.

    I believe you mean piqued. Otherwise, your curiosity will no longer be as strong as it was at that point.

    Threads merged as per request.

    Other times when the problem happened, it seems to be linked to the title.

    If it happens again, try rephrasing the title, or post with a different one, then report your post with a request that the title be changed.
