[+travelfreak]

Please help: I cannot report a cache at the page:

 

http://www.geocaching.com/hide/report.aspx .

The browsers Javascript is activ.

If I hit the button 'Report New Listing' I get the following server error messages:

So what is wrong... ?

After many tries I finally found out that the system did not like more than 500 characters in the 'short description' - the server didn't tell me its problem at the beginning - it just always ended up in the above server errors. Only if the cache already was saved to the system and you changed back to more than 500 characters in the short description on the new page 'report/edit a cache' it told you the following:

 

There are errors on this page. Scroll down to see the errors.

 

Error Occured

Your cache has been edited. view listing

 

The short description can only be 500 characters.

So may be it is a little bug...
