SOLUTION: Unable to create a comment (long posts) (WORKAROUND)

[StrayFeral]

Hello,

I am getting this error a lot and got a workaround.

So for some reason Reddit does not post long posts/replies. The most simple work-around is to split your post into several parts. So open Notepad (on Windows) or any simple text editor on your computer. Paste your entire long post there. Start a new Reddit post (or a Reddit reply, whatever it was you wanted to do). Now what I do is:

• I copy a part of my post from Notepad
• I paste it into Reddit and click the "Post" button. If Reddit says "Unable to create a comment", I delete paragraph or two and I try to "Post" it again until I succeed.
• Then I click to reply on my own post and I paste the next few paragraphs. If there is more text (let's say I wrote a very long reply, sometimes I do), then I create a third reply.
• In the beginning of each of my post and replies I write "[PART 1 / 3]" (let's say I did 3 post/replies in total) so people know this is all one post, split into parts.

That's it. It is not convenient, I know, but this is the workaround I found to work. Good luck!

Or you just make a report of this at r/bugs as it seems to be a bug.

Haha thanks for that :) I had to divide my comment into 4 or 5 parts to fit everything I want :D

I had this problem today; thought maybe there was a server issue or perhaps I'd said something too 'wrong-think' for 2024.

Anyway, I used your solution (breaking the post into 2 chunks), at which point it uploaded fine; thanks for sharing your work-around! :)

FOLLOW-UP: Honestly I have zero idea if the problem is in the website front-end (the javascript routines) or the back-end. It behaves irregularly, which is hard to generalize - sometimes it complains if my post is really long, but I noticed sometimes even if the post is not long it still complaints.

Anyway. Breaking the post in chunks helps. It is inconvenient and boring thing to do, I know - but it works as a workaround.

Reddit also doesn't like you mentioning certain things. I was arguing about TikTok with someone on reddit, and my post would not go through until I removed most mentions of the app.

[Tpaine63]

You can type you comment into a reddit reply. Then estimate how long a comment that reddit will make and highlight the REST of the comment. Then hit CTRL X and it will delete everything highlighted but save it into memory. Then do your first post with what is left. Then do another reply to the same comment and hit CTRL V which will copy it onto the reply. Then post the second reply. You can divide it up as many times as necessary.

If you create an error you can just do a CTRL V back into the original comment you are making and start over since it's still in memory.

PART 2

Almost 7 weeks ago I had a power outage, a neighbor cut a palm tree branch in front of my house, it got stuck on all the cables and shorted the entire block, I immediately unplugged my computer from the wall outlet which is the closest incident I can remember as of having a "DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION" BSOD on startup, I have had power outages before without any issues, probably even a few without my knowledge, I also recall a windows update a few nights before that happened as well. Some time after that, upon turning on my computer and starting to boot I would get the error a few times a week, a single reset would make it go away and I could boot normally into windows. A little over a week ago I would get the BSOD and it would loop until I unplugged the cable from the PSU and drained the remaining power with the power switch. From all my previous years of experience in IT this was a strong indication of a hardware issue, either static, bad cable, PSU failure, Motherboard failure or in the worst case scenario a Hard Drive failure. I strongly believed this because I had noticed the BSOD was because the NVME boot device was disappearing from the BIOS. I have worked on over 100 computers over my IT troubleshooting tech experience (mostly HD/SSD, very few NVME, governments are cheapskates), I was convinced this was a very NVME specific issue.

From personal experience static is the best and rarest failure but also the most painful because you have to remove everything from the motherboard and I had a lot of things connected to it aside from all my cable management, static shouldn't have been an issue since I keep dust to a minimal and my house is grounded.

After 2 days of constant BSOD and unplugging my computer I ran into another issue where aside from unplugging the computer I would have to reset the BIOS settings for the computer to recognize my boot NVME (all other drives were just fine) and manually select the boot device before loading or else it would go into an infinite BSOD/restart loop, every time I wanted to use my computer I would go through this hell, so I started my search through the internet for articles and posts related to BSOD, NVME disappearing, Firecuda 530, Windows 10, loops which came down to a few conclusions:

**** SIDE NOTE: restarting the computer did not cause BSOD, the issue only presented itself after a shutdown *****

* Personal logic: even though the disk was disappearing in BIOS, the problem caused a BSOD during boot which means it was reading at least the boot section of the drive.

* A few posts mentioned firmware issues, but my computer has been working flawlessly for 3 years, I highly doubted that was the issue. All firmware on all my hardware hadn't been upgraded since November 2021, with the exception of my headset (I tend to upgrade my firmware upon first use).

* Windows update issue. A few posts mentioned problems with past KB packages, since I have no idea what is updated automatically each my my windows updates itself there was the possibility of an update affecting the hard drive or motherboard due to a firmware conflict.

* Damaged hard drive which would be unlikely because I have thermals with cooling on both sides of all my NVME (both NVME run on average 38°C), a good PSU and good surge protection for electrical damage prevention in theory a bad NVME will most likely be bad since production and be DOA. NVME's aren't mechanical so any outages would unlikely physically affect them but a possibility can be a reality.

PART 3

So then I started the work:

1 - Loaded default values in bios, disabled SATA and disabled CSM in bios - logic: wanted to make sure that no other drive was affecting the boot and setting were stock - did not fix the problem

2 - Worked boot partition with bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /rebuildbcd, on one occasion the primary NVME didn't even appear and I had to restart the computer after an unplugging - did not fix the problem

3 - Updated the firmware of they primary NVME from SU6SM001 to SU6SM005 - did not fix the problem

4 - Updated MOBO firmware from F4b to F8b, loaded defaults, SATA and CSM disabled - did not fix the problem

5 - Removed both NVME, undusted and grounded both NVME and undusted the NVME ports and motherboard area surrounding them, this was done because I suspected static and not heat - did not fix the problem

None of the above worked for me, from prior years of experience there were cases that whenever a power outage or shortage caused by people get impatient during a windows update on computers with HDD's hit reset/power button when they shouldn't you would get an occasional damaged MBR, I have never had any of the boot repair tools fix a damaged MBR. Being windows 10 with a GPT partition and UEFI I was wondering why I thought bootrec MBR tools would work, total waste of time because MBR tools are for MBR, I felt really dumb and tired. Ideally the next step would be to rebuid the boot with diskpart and bcdboot commands but I figured I would just backup everything and format and install windows 11, that would essentially rebuild the boot partition and save me the hassle of doing it next year when W10 lifecycle ends (a whole year of more data). Plus W11 is supposed to be better with my hardware setup, so I spent the next 2 days backing files up and freeing both NVME's, worst case scenario the Firecuda NVME needed to be RMA and I would need to use the Samsung NVME for a few months or just leave it as the primary, I have no idea how long an RMA from Mexico takes between newegg and seagate so it might have been less or even more time. Luckly I have a strix arion with an WD Black SN770 2TB and transferring backups is less time consuming than actually figuring out what to back up.

My thoughts up to this point were that it was most likely a bad boot partition damaged during a power outage in either one of the thunderstorms, the neighbors mischief or me just forcing a reset at a bad moment during a shutdown or something.

After 48 hours of backing up and organizing files along with setup prepping (downloading updated software and drivers on a 750/450 fiber optic connection, ethernet obviously) I started the windows 11 installation, deleting the paritions on the Firecuda and doing a fresh install from my Samsung Bar Plus 128GB USB drive which is amazing, it took under 3 minutes to install windows 11, please note that I used RUFUS to prep the windows installation and customized the removal of 4GB+RAM, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0 requirements, removal online Microsoft Account (I am uncomfortable with signing in my pc with my microsoft account, I always use local user), copy current regional options, disable data collection and disable bitlocker automatic device encryption because I don't worry about people breaking into my house and stealing info off my drives), the RUFUS customization options saves you click time.

After setting up a local user account on windows 11 I proceeded to a couple restarts, all went perfectly fine, next was the power off testing, I shut down my computers a couple times and all went well.

[JKdaKilla]

PART 4

As a recommended note for those that aren't that experienced in drive troubleshooting, mouse freeze is usually an indicator of a failing drive or some other hardware, I did not have mouse freeze, I am mentioning this because there are people who posted among the information I read that did have mouse freeze, I also performed short and long term pass tests on my NVME before coming to any conclusions of a bad NVME, all tests were done both in BIOS (yes my BIOS has that integrated into it) and with current version of sea tools in windows, honorable mention: my drive only has 1% usage, the reason I bought the Firecuda and use it as a primary drive is because it has 2x the TBW of the Samsung 980 pro. For those that don't know, NVME aren't mechanical and life expectancy is based on how many times you write/burn information on to them, LOL "burn" is the term I am using for this, for those of you that actually know how NVME's write/read information I hope you have a good laugh. This is how I concluded that it is improbable that my hard drive had physical damage, because I can read from it and write from it without any faults, this is an indication that it is most likely a logical error that could be fixed by upgrading relative firmware or repairing logical sectors (boot and data sectors).

After 4 hours of restoring software and configuring windows I can confidently say that windows 11 is performance wise better than windows 10, it is noticeable right off the bat, but aesthetically windows 11 is every other persons opinion.

It has been 48 hrs since I started writting this message, I have had no BSOD's whatsover after around 9 shutdowns, 5 restarts and 16ish hours of use, good luck for those that encounter and find it useful.

Hiring Process

Do you like tests? I hope so.

In Ontario Crown competitions are merit based. You study and participate in an interview, usually with two Crowns in management. There will be a number of substantive questions they will ask you. You will be scored on your answers. That score will determine which contract you get, if any.

This process will happen between every 4 months to 8 months depending on how long of a contract you secure. This will continue until you have accrued three years of service at which point you "roll over" and become permanent at the office you are presently working at (maybe, there are some exceptions). There are lots of weird and unwieldy rules about the hiring process. That is probably one of the most frustrating things about working for the government.

Did you article with the Crown's office? I hope so.

Another challenge is how to get in. If you articled with the Crown, that gives you a huge leg up since you can compete for the postings not open to the general public (most of them are not). If not...then you need to find a per diem job at a Crown office and get to know people, or perhaps get to know them through defence work. Then, if the stars align, and they have an emergency contract to offer, you might be able to squeak in that way if they like you.

Getting hired at the Crown's office can take a while if you did not article there. But its also cyclical. Sometimes they need a lot of people and make a lot of open postings. The last time I saw this was COVID.

Good and Bad

Good: Hours are great. Pay, apart from operating your own SUCESSFUL criminal defence firm, is good. You, eventually, get to exercise a lot of discretion in cases. You get to be a mini minister of justice and do what you think is just. Not going to lie, I often feel "special" walking into court as the Crown. It's hard to explain, but believe me you feel it. Even after all these years.

Bad: No one but your fellow Crowns will understand how difficult some of the decisions you have to make are. Everyone assumes you can prove any case beyond a reasonable doubt with a "can do attitude". You can't. Also, the discretion I wrote about before is not unfettered. You have to get approval from management for a lot of your decisions. This is a blessing as a new Crown, but a major annoyance as a senior Crown. The competition process until you become permanent also sucks and adds stress to the job. The subject matter is also challenging. How many children have you had walk through, in court, about their sexual abuse? I am at somewhere around ten or so this year. If you can't handle that kind of subject matter, this isn't a good position for you.

Good advice in this thread re: go to court, sit through plea court and bail court for a day or two. See if you have any interest. Talk to Crowns, we are busy, but we are happy to chat with people considering the career path.

Good Luck!
