Feedback On Fine Gardening

I have been getting an error message consistently when trying to access the November contest. Works to a point where I might want to save or preview a post. The following error pops up
ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.finegardening.com/contest/theautumngarden

The following error was encountered:

The request or reply is too large.
If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body (the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service Provider who operates this cache. Please contact them directly if you feel this is an error.

Has this been a problem for others?
A similar thing happens on the Fine Cooking side when trying to upload a personal recipe.
Cheers
Sharon

Hi bungei,

I'm writing from FineCooking.com. . .when another editor saw your post she forwarded it on to me. I'm concerned about the error you're seeing when you try to post a recipe. Are you getting the exact error on FC that you copied/pasted in your post here, or is the wording different? Also, does the error occur when you try to post a recipe in general, or were you specifically trying to enter a recipe in our Halloween Recipes contest? Any details you could provide would be great. . .we'll try to fix the problem right away.

Thanks very much,

Hi Robyn:
The error text was the same, the URL at the beginning was different, of course.
I haven't been back to the personal recipe upload page for a few days. I wasn't entering a contest there.
I may try again soon.
The Fine Gardening site gives basically the same message in a variety of places.
Cheers
Sharon

I got a similar error a couple months ago when I tried to enter a FG contest. It wouldn't let me post.
