So apparently every board on the site is having a 'connection error' for arbitrary amounts of text in a post. Does anyone know what's going on?

Fucked if I know but it screwed over cyoa
When did this start? Can we all agree that this started happening about 18-24 hours ago from the time of this post?

>>>/int/74492343 is the first point where it starts getting reported regularly on desuarchive's boards. So this has been going for 48 hours.

interesting, around the time /bant/ went live. I wonder if the two things could somehow be related.
Here's an example post that doesn't work.

It'd make sense that they'd roll out an update to the backend while adding a new board. I don't know if it's directly related or not.
Having this problem as well when trying to make a new Doom thread on /vr/.
This worked for me:

>it lets my posts go through if I use the reply box instead of quick reply
Except, it made me type a second captcha on a separate page before it actually made the post.

Smells like another bot filter
The connection errors happen because the extra verification page isn't sending the correct CORS header, which prevents Javascript on boards.4chan.org from reading the response. Otherwise the verification would show up in the error message.
epic
Also noticed that the extra verification page uses Cloudflare's recaptcha key

instead of 4chan's

So this is an issue with Cloudflare or how Cloudflare has been set up.

But then why would it only affect certain strings?
>>1305311
Depending on a site's security settings, cloudflare can attempt to guess which users are more likely to be bots and show them a verification page.
What exactly triggers this is obviously not documented, but common spam text in forms is likely to do it.
Happening to us as well
IT's fucking over greentext posts

Good.

>long dash and "Israel" causes connection error
>Delete either and it works
Anti-spam filter has gone retarded.
>>1305169
When I tried that it sent me to an error page saying I was IP banned.
So where the fuck is Hiro on this?
I guess this is a feature and not a bug?

It's like 2004 all over again and you have to scroll to the top to post.
still happening but if I post without quick reply it's fine.
