  Alvie,

  The problem was the post was too large… There is a limit of 8,000 characters for any post. What were you trying to post?

  I think it was info on DI systems but not sure anymore.

  Will try and watch the size next time.

  Thanks for the follow-up Tom!

  Just a general comment….When drafting a long post it is sometimes best to do it in “Word” or whatever you use so you do not risk losing it. Our web site times out and with the limitation on the number of characters doing a post off site insures your work will not be lost. If it is too long you can split it into multiple posts.
