I am trying to post a message and it does not let me through. It gives to me the following error.
Please fix the following issues to continue: You are not authorized to make this response. If you believe this to be in error, please refresh the page and try again.
Is there a limit on the characters to post? The message was a bit long and it just contained 3 blocks of code. :(
Hi! I am happy to help with this issue. There is not a character limit to Microsoft Q&A posts, so that should not be an issue.
Have you tried refreshing your page and/or signing out and signing back in? There are intermittent caching errors that we are aware of and working on, and these workarounds often help users complete their posts in the meantime.
Please let me know if you need additional support :)

This is a dummy post to try and get this idiotic forum to show me the latest post from @Anan Sansa-eed which is listed in the thread summary but is nowhere to be found within the thread - yet?
That attempt to reveal the post did not work so, see the OP title, it is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
FYI, the source of my frustration with the forum came while trying to post this issue. The original message was a bit longer than that, and I could only posted when I removed some lines.
It seems that either there was an illegal character on the message or there is a text limit in place. If the second case applies then having a character counter will be a good idea :)
Nevertheless, thank you very much for your attention.
Les - The post from @Anan Sansa-eed was deleted by moderators for containing personal information. That is why it will not appear in the thread!
OK, so a user sees a post listed in the thread summary and is:
a) supposed to know instinctively that actually there is no post there at all so don't waste time looking for it!
b) go on to Microsoft Q&A and bitch about a)?
With Q&A, that recursion doesn't have an exit!

I just had three goes making a post and getting this rather unhelpful error. If there's too many characters in the post then SAY that, not a junk response like this "You are not authorized to make this response. If you believe this to be in error, please refresh the page and try again."

I've found that I get this error if I include a link in the question.
By removing the link, I could get my question to post.
