To all APP USERS getting error 400 when you try and post
It won’t let you post due to certain rules about communities, and images and so on.
There should be an explanatory message telling you what to change in your post to let it through, but this is (accidentally) not in the app right now.

The next app update will restore the error messages so you can see why we’re not allowing your posts.
Common errors:
Posting to multiple communities is now not allowed. Please pick just one community.
The News community is currently set to staff-only due to lots of mis-categorised posts. We will make this clearer inside the app in a future update. And hopefully the News community will return to being open at some point.
The Garage community is restricted for “Vehicle” type posts. This has to be done through the “add a car” process for consistency. You can’t put a normal post in that community.
There are a couple of other communities with restrictions that I can’t think of right now (maybe Blog).
Make sure you put a title in your post, and make sure it’s longer than 3 characters. We want interesting, meaningful content so try your best to make your posts as good as they can possibly be.
Swearing in the post title and content will mean your post is rejected.
The maximum file upload size is 7MB - but the app will resize photos for a speedy upload. It’s usually GIFs that have this problem.
Don’t use more than 6 hashtags in your post - title + content combined. Maximum 3 in the title. This isn’t Instagram and we don’t appreciate #spam.
Cheers,
GW.

Great to see you’re working on the app, even with Christmas round the corner! Thanks for all of your engagement, I don’t think many communities and sites like this can boast such a high level of engagement with all your users.
Everytime i try uploading pictures from my phone CT says is corrupted, but i upload the phone pic from my Computer and then magic happens and it uploads finally
it says i have error 400 when i try to log in why is that?
How do you add photos in comments? or is that still being made?
Why only 7mb image size limit
Okay… So if I’m posting a blog post - limit it to one community? (like Ask Car Throttle)
