ERROR : Sorry, you are not allowed to have words, punctuation, or a combination with 25 characters or more in length in your description.

What I got when I tried to submit my random contest contest

Here's my entry, I trust you all enough to not steal it. Little help?:


EDIT: Problem solved. Thanks for the help!

What? O.o That doesn't even make sense. Well, it does, but you know what I mean.

Maybe it's because you mentioned jelly world? That's my only guess. Did you try submitting it again? Maybe it was just a glitch.

I -think- it's to prevent spam so you don't go 'asjfakflafholsfjlafkaehfke'.

I tried submitting it multiple times, and even tried taking the bit about jelly world out

But thank you for such a quick reply, this is why I love PPT

Someone else had a similar problem before and Im racking my brains trying to remember how they fixed it. maybe pressing 'Enter' counts as punctuation so try pressing space before you hit 'Enter' and see if that works...

Be creative!

4.Double-edit your entry for grammatical

If hitting 'Enter counts as punctuation then with 2 new lines that section hits 24 characters... dunno if this helps any.

Edited cos i cant count!!

I 've read what you typed a few times now, and I still don't see anything that's 25 characters!

The only thing I can think of, just looking at your submission and looking at the Error is, at the end of Faerieland, you have the three ... Maybe for some bizarre reason that's causing the error?

I entered the random contest myself (not that my idea was any good), and had no problem.

I'm getting the same error, and when I pressed back, all the text was deleted.

Always type it up in a Word program first, then copy/paste it over.

That's what I always do now when I'm writing something long because I've lost too much to glitchiness.

Thanks for your entry! Keep an eye on the New Features page in the days to come to see if you've won. Good luck!

Hooray! I think xjox had it, I put a space after all my numbers and it went through

Thanks, guys!
