I literally cannot post here, so I guess posting is frozen until something gets fixed.

Fortunately I typed out everything on a separate document, so at least I didn't completely lose the most recent attempt at posting. Whenever I submit something, only the title goes through; all of the content is lost. I don't have the option of editing the content into the post, either.

No clue what's happening. It started when I was suddenly unable to edit posts, and it also appears that I cannot submit links at all. But I can post discussion posts, I guess, apparently.

I use Firefox browser. I also use a VPN, but I don't think the VPN is the problem because I turned it off completely and still have the same problems.

I don't have the option of using a different computer. My computer sucks but I doubt it's the problem since I'm not having issues at different websites.

I pinged @rimu@piefed.social, last time he said it looked like a piefed bug, hopefully he'll figure it out.

On this specific post? Yeah, it appears that as long as I post a text-only thing it works fine. It's when I try to attach a link that things don't work out.

Yeah, I suspect it might be something that I need to wait out.

I can post discussion-only posts. When I submit a link with detailed content, only the title gets posted.

ugh. I get annoyed at link only posts. I hope they are not from people that wrote up a whole thing on what they thought about it but then show up as just the link and title.

Hi

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I've been travelling.

Can you make a link post, with text in the body, and then when it loses the body reply to this comment with a link to the broken post? I need an example to look at.

You can do this in !playground@piefed.social if you'd rather not mess up your own community.

Here you go: https://piefed.social/c/cultcinema@piefed.social/p/2535719/blue-sunshine-1977-dir-jeff-lieberman-starring-zalman-king-trailer-when-that-lsd-you-to

This is the most recent submission I wrote up a few days ago and have unsuccessfully tried to post. As you can see, only the title goes through. The submission also included a link to a trailer at Internet Archive, a written body, an inserted image, and a list of hashtags, all of which are getting lost after I post.

I can edit in the content of the post body (near as I can tell, although I haven't done so with the linked example) but I don't seem to be able to edit in the link.

Thanks for your attention to this, I understand piefed is a small operation so I get that it can take time.

EDIT: Okay, weird, it seems to have gone through properly now? The post originally did time out so maybe there was a delay that I wasn't waiting long enough for. I'm not sure what's happening but I hope I'm not wasting your time here.

EDIT 2: I still can't edit this post , which I've been trying to switch from saying "Trailer" to "Full Movie" in the title. I seem to have lost my post editing capabilities which was the original problem I noticed.
