Hello, I added your submission to the text box and will take note that there may be some issues from time to time. Sometimes the error comes up if the text includes certain keys (I know the | key is one of them; that's where the Error message came up for me) but it seems you didn't have any odd ones, so the website may have just been off at the time. I appreciate that you still tried to get it to us instead of letting your work disappear; thank you. I will get back to this and review it later on.
