This just sends you to the formatting area and gives no indication of what is wrong. As my attempted post did not contain any other posts/quotes or spoilers I do not understand why I got this message. Is there a limit on the number of paragraphs or letters used?

no idea , the servers here sometimes can be flaky , have you tried to repost it?

[Roscaria]

Not yet. It was fairly lengthy. Will try again later. Thanks.

"There was an error creating a new topic : 21"

This means you were logged out of steam and can't post your comment or discussion... steam signs you out after a while of inactivity, this often happens when you type a long comment/discussion, it can happen while you use a browser and more rarely in steam itself

[SOLUTION]: Open notepad, copy your discussion (everything typed) into notepad, refresh the webpage, sign in again, start your discussion again and this time just copy and paste from notepad to discussion, this ensures you can post before being flagged as inactive

Hope this helps anything else looking for help with this error

getting Error 2? and logging back in doesn't fix it? Is it possible the post is to long?

[Commander_Shawn]

I was getting error 21 as well. It may be becasue steam is refreshing. just hit the stop refreshing button and try again. worked for me

For those that haven't been informed the answer yet for Error 2
Apparently Error 2 is indeed, That the topic post is too long.
Either that the post contains too many characters or too much spacing (possibly the post is so space/long that it extends off the normal page allowance)
