The travel reports section will not let me enter a report on Seoul for some reason.



No matter how much I change the size of the title, I always get an error stating that it can only be 40 characters long, even when it's only "Hidden gem of NE Asia", which is well within the 10-50 character parameter.

I still can't get this report posted, no matter what I try. There's some sort of glitch, because I don't have problems with any other city name, only Seoul.



P.S. Japan is still not green on my world map.

Hi bootlegga,



my guess is that it does not have to do with the destination.



Try reloading the form where you enter the title etc.

I just tried it with the title you provided and it works. Maybe the error message is wrong, and it is telling you just that the report title length is wrong, while something else is.

Maybe adjusting the other text might help. Another guess is that you have some blank space inside the title.



Let me know if any of this tips worked, so I can track down the error and fix it.



About Japan. I know it is not green yet. There are no programming resources for the map right now. We are working on travel guides and another esential new feature (surprise :-)



Regards,



Andy

Still no luck Andreas...sigh. I wrote what I think is an amazing report and can't post it.



I've tried posting it from home, from work and from the public library, and not one of them will accept my title. Kinda frustrating. Oh well, I guess I'll have to post it some other time.

why don't you try another title and edit the title after publishing?

You can publish a report and after publishing you can edit all parts of the report.

I am still wondering what is wrong with the title. I double checked it with your title and it worked for me.

Try to publish it like I said, and I will try to do the same with your text on a test mashine.



Regards,



Andy

Actually, Andy, I've tried it with probably a dozen different titles, including the same exact one I plan on using for Beijing (which works fine by the way). I've also tried; abcdef123456, Shopper's Paradise, Northeast Asia's best kept secret, etc.



None of them work. Strangely enough, 'Home of the 2008 Olympics' works fine for Beijing but not for Seoul. Go figure...



Is there a way for me to email the info to you, then for you to upload it to my profile and then let me edit it?

Hi bootlega,



I have just sent you an email.



Other than that, it came to my mind that you might have a problem with browser cash. Go to that page that failes and hit the refresh button of your browser and then fill in the text again. Just to make sure the browser is not the problem.

Thanks for the help Andy!



I guess it was a link I had in the description section, not the title as I thought. Apparently links in reports can NOT be longer than 40 characters. I hope this can be changed sometime in the future, as unfortunately, most links to websites tend to be big and this could prevent people from mentioning good resource websites.



But I'm sure you already have plenty on your plate, so I wouldn't worry about it right now. Thanks again!
