Auwa Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I really hate to have to ask this and share my entry before submitting it, but I'm at a loss about what to do! So, I wanted to enter the Petpet Spotlight competition and I put a decent amount of effort into my entry. Proofread it several times, shared it with friends, gathered opinions, and doing my best to make sure it was perfect and the way I wanted it. However, when I went to submit it I got this delightful little message instead. Error: Sorry, you are not allowed to have words, punctuations, or a combination with 25 characters or more. This is so that the judges don't have to read long spam that makes our eyes explode. Please go back and reformat your description. :) Except... I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong? I'm really at a loss here and no one else has been able to find anything wrong with my formatting. Can someone read my entry and help me figure out what's setting off this error so I can fix it? You can read it here. Any help at all is appreciated! Quote
Kaana Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Basically you need to make your description 25 characters or less. Although, that seems quite a small number, are you sure it wasn't 250? Quote
Auwa Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 Yep, I copy and pasted that directly. That really doesn't make sense at all if it meant the entire thing. Did I just use too much punctuation somewhere? Or did I use a word longer than 25 characters? Quote
Kaana Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Ah, it's not worded very well, but I think it means there's a word of more than 25 characters that it doesn't like. Does your entry have anything that long in it? Quote
Auwa Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 That's what I'm trying to figure out. :S So far I haven't spotted anything. Quote
Kaana Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I can't see it either. Maybe try again? It might've been glitched or something. I honestly can't see any reason why it shouldn't work :( Sorry Quote
Auwa Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Oops, I meant to reply earlier but I forgot to. I tried resubmitting and... it worked! It must have glitched out the first time after all. Looks like I won this week too so I guess it was worth all the trouble! :'D Quote
