Hello, I'm creating this thread on behalf of the user "Hapygoo", because he can't seem to be able to open one.
He only sees the message attached.
Maybe someone can help? ¯\_(O_o)_/¯

Thank you Phaolo. It doesn't matter what's in the title or body of the message and I am not trying to attach any image despite the weird error message.

As you can see I can reply to existing threads though.

Are you using some particular, unusual browser or plugin that could be causing this?
Or better said, have you tried with different browsers?

It happened to me couple times only when I was using VPN (so presumably some kind of IP ban).

It has nothing to do with images, just text is glitched when this error happens to look like that.

Gog has always been like this for me, never been able to post a thread consistently.
Gog has never addressed or fixed whatever the issue is. Sometimes it'll post the thread a few days later which makes pretty much no sense whatsoever.

That sucks for Hapygoo.

That's awful nice of you, phaolo.

is there a requirement to open a thread

other than maybe not using Netscape or Cello as a browser in Windows 3.1, not that I know. that's probably it then
