Unable to post in the Discord Cabin Shell Challenge

I'm trying to post my entry in the Discord Cabin Shell challenge, but whenever I try to add my entry, Discord says it's processing, then a second later the whole thing disappears and it's as if I never posted. I tried again later with the ethernet cable connected, and I tried reducing my images to 1080p resolution down from 1440p. I've tried with the app instead of through my browser, but it's the same result. I tried posting with my tablet, but I couldn't upload the pictures at all and the android version of discord has been having problems that aren't on the computer version. I reported the problem to Discord, but there's been no response. I searched the issue on google, but I can't find anything on it. It's very frustrating because I want to enter, but Discord refuses to post my message and I've tried all I know. Does anyone know what else I can do? Does Discord have some max message size limit they don't tell us? I'm on the free Discord account on Windows 11 using Google Chrome browser.

I just tried it again and this time I reduced my picture count down by 1 and uploaded my description as a file, and it went up. I then edited my post and removed the text file and put my description in as a message and Discord said it reverted the change because of a disallowed word. I had mentioned at the end that I think my lot is best located in Crystal Valley in the new pack, but when I removed the words "in the Adventure Awaits expansion pack neighbourhood" it allowed it through. I don't know what Discord thought was wrong with those words, but it should have told me rather than just say processing and disappear, which made it look like a continuous glitch with their server. I was starting to think it was to do with my location. Thanks for your help.

sallycutecat Are you writing anything in addition to posting screenshots? Some words are blocked in Discord, for example "follow" (or at least it was a while back). So try changing the text of your comment.

You could also try a different browser, one not built on Chromium. Firefox works for me.

I have a description that's about a paragraph long (126 words, 718 characters according to libre office). I don't have the word "follow" and I don't see any words that could be an issue. Discord isn't even telling me there's an error or anything, my post just disappears. I forgot to mention I have 10 pictures, which I have renamed from being "screenshot xx". I've only tried posts with 1 image before this and have had this problem before, but unlike this time, it went through the second attempt. Now no matter what I do, it won't post. I have since tried posting with Edge and Firefox, and on my old computer which is windows 10, but it's still doing the exact same thing. I even converted my pictures from PNG files to JPG, but it's made no difference.
