What is post flooding and why does it stop me from posting?

I keep getting this pink box that pops up when I want to post...it says to correct highlighted errors....there aren't any....and says something about "post flooding". Very frustrating after I take time to write a post and then I can't post it.

Perhaps a glitch.

Googled it and got this.  I don't see what that has to do with you.  Must be a QVC glitch.

@Trailrun23.  Have you tried clicking "post" a second time after getting the message?

Every time it happens I try it several times.

it doesn't happen every time I try and post but it does happen frequently; today probably  8 or 9 times. I just give up after trying 4-5 times by hitting post

Then it does sound like another QVC glitch; they sure seem to have a lot of them.

I've had this happen on occasion if I've posted And then made another post too quickly.  But if it happens a lot maybe just a glitch.  You might try using another browser.
