Blogger/Blogspot broken

I tried to use the "Blog this" function this morning, and got the following error message.

We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request.
The following errors were found:
u: Must be at most 256 characters


That reduces the functionality of this feature to zero. And I tried with just two words, nine characters, and it still gave me the same error message.

So I went to the Help Forum to report it.

That's broken too.

You can post a question there, but there is no way of actually "Submitting" the question. There's no send or OK or submit button.

At the bottom of the screen there's a question about whether you want to be e-mailed to notify you if there are any responses to your question. It looks as though there ought to be a "Send" or "Submit" button below that, but there are no vertical scroll bars to scroll down to see it if it is there.

You're likely to be using a url in the post that's too long. Put it through a url shortening service first.

Blogger have some good points but when they're bad, they're woeful.

"Blog This" seems to be working again now.

Blogger has been playing up in the last couple of days.

I made a lengthy comment in one place and as I posted it blogger deleted it
