As I looked at my post, I have found out that it had only one title in bold and that was it. I have several little parts underlined but that is mostly it. What I'm trying to post is an 11 page long post about an almost finish part of our work. I wonder if the reason that it can't be posted is that it exceeds the forum limit size of a post or if it is something else entirely.
Just to note that they are far more longer posts in that section of the forum that existed before the migration to VBulletin.

The message that i get from the forum is: Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

I have encountered similar problem. Solution was found as to split the post into parts

I think it has to do with posts being especially long, and causing errors during connection/'upload' of the message. There is no limit on post length per se, but errors are more likely to occur on long posts I guess. Always save long posts somewhere (word processor, cache), retry if failed; split into two parts as mentioned by Heren if it still fails.

When both BW and I were unable to edit The Golden Hall thread in Rohan a couple of weeks ago (a very simple edit of adding one name on one line), I simply copied the entire thread into a new thread and deleted the old one. There were no problems starting a new thread. Maybe this idea will be of use on other forums.

Just one question: what are these 'groups'? I've got a box in my user cp asking me to jain the Angmar Clan. What is this???

It's nothing. Ignore it. If it becomes something, we'll let everyone know.

Time must be cyclical after all, I could have sworn that question was asked and answered not even some 10 posts above. Weird.
