I keep getting an error message that says the document is locked. Are there some upgrades/updates going on right now?
 
There are no updates running, Glenn. What is the exact error message?
 
Thanks Glenn. Were there any links to other websites in your post?

I have had a few reports on this issue lately. I'm still investigating.
 
Thomas,

Last night I tried to edit my own post, and then when hitting "save" button, I got the same message Glenn mentioned, i.e.

HTTP Error: 403 Forbidden
The document you requested has been locked for a reason.
 
Maybe the same error as the one I encountered before?

I don't know what's happened.

When I got the same 403 error while editing this post few days ago, I deleted some URLs first, edited the post, clicked "Save" button, readded the URLs I'd once deleted, and finally clicked "Save" button with composure.:D

Apparently, we can't edit a post containing more than 4 URLs in it whether the links are embedded or not.
 
I guess that's what I'll have to do, then. Man, this is going to take some time. I can't post it, either, without preview, I just found out.
 
Well, Toritoribe's suggestion worked, but the クレーン車 Google search result link is a no-go even doing it that way. Oh well.
 
We seem not to be able to post/preview any posts containing more than 4 embedded URLs in any manner. Try a normal link as belowツ?ォ instead of the embedded one [ url=http://www.google.com/~~]ニ誰ニ椎陳ーニ停?愬ステ板(窶堋ュ窶堙ェツー窶堙ア窶堋オ窶堙。ツ) -- crane[/ url].;-)

ニ誰ニ椎陳ーニ停?愬ステ板(窶堋ュ窶堙ェツー窶堙ア窶堋オ窶堙。ツ) -- crane
[ url]http://www.google.com/~~[ /url]
 
Oh, then, how about changing all the links into non-embedded version?

I just checked several patterns in this post. It seems that we can edit a post that contains less than three embedded links + less than three non-embedded links, as below.(In other words, this post is the maximum pattern of editable posts.)

yahoo
goo

When adding one more embedded link, the 403 Forbidden error returns. We can add non-embedded links, but can't edit it. If we want to edit it, we have to delete non-embedded links until the total amount of non-embedded links becomes less than three.

So, I don't know why "3 embedded + 1 non-embedded" can't work in Glenn-san's post.:?

I can't really say I'm a fan of that solution. But I guess if I have to...
 
Glenn, I just want to let you know that we have not forgotten about this and the other glitches yet! Currently experimenting with vBulletin 4, I am pretty positive that we shall be upgrading soon and hope that this will solve a lot of the technical issues plaguing this forum.

What does worry me though is porting over the Japanese language section. I hope we won't be drowning in a sea of mojibake...
 
Thanks for the update, thomas! Yeah, past conversions sure have made things strange in the Japanese forums for some reason. I hope that doesn't happen this time too.
