Posting code Snippets

[mr.nick]

Well, after lounging around this site for a few weeks, I thought I'd start to do some posting of the more interesting of PERL code I've written over the past decade.

Unfortunately, the SUBMIT button under the snippets section doesn't seem to do anything. I click, it goes in, and that's about it. It's certainly not POSTing to the next page.

Is there something that I am missing here?

After some talk in the chatterbox with mr.nick, this appears to be related to the length* of the code posted inside the textarea box when submitting a snippet. The workaround appears to be too post a small snippet, and then add more content at the next (preview) page. Anyone with similar experiences? I seem to recall some discussion some time ago about some nodes getting sent as a GET not as a POST method, but I thought that was cleared up a long time ago, and the source indicates a POST method.

*or perhaps the content?

I have just posted a snippet, and was neither offered a preview page, nor any obvious method to edit my post. Is it possible to edit snippets?

Go to your snippet and on the lower left, just above the bar ending your snippet, there should be a link that says Edit your snippet here</code>. That link does exactly what the name suggests.
