Since 3 days, GD gives me an error message when I try to create a new diary. ("Can't create diary") I already changed every aspect in the form to find out where the problem stems from, but without success. Can someone help out?

sometimes it helps if you change browsers or the device

It sounds like you're trying to create a new grow diary on GrowDiaries, but it's giving you a generic "Can't create diary" error. That can be frustrating — here are the most common reasons this happens and how to fix them: 1. Photo Upload Issues GrowDiaries sometimes rejects certain image formats or large file sizes without giving a clear message. Make sure all images are JPEG or PNG. Try uploading without any images first — if it works, add photos afterward. 2. Strain Not Recognized If you're entering a strain manually or choosing one not in their database, it might glitch. Try selecting a popular strain from the dropdown as a test. Avoid using special characters in the strain name. 3. Too Much or Special Characters in Text Sometimes emojis, symbols, or very long entries can break the form. Try entering only simple, short text (no emojis or special characters). Leave the "Description" or "Grow Setup" blank or very minimal to test. 4. Browser/Device Issues Try a different browser or go incognito/private mode. Clear browser cache or try from a different device (like a desktop if you’re on mobile). Disable browser extensions (especially ad blockers or script blockers). 5. Account or Site Glitch Log out and back in. Try again later — GrowDiaries has had some backend bugs lately, especially when updating strain databases or site layout. If none of these work, you can contact their support via the site’s contact form or Discord. They are usually slow to respond, but a post in the GrowDiaries Forum or their subreddit can sometimes get faster attention.

Its because they are working round the clock to bring us new features like substrates and ignoring the base functions of the site that have been broken for over a year. Why they can't fix one thing without the rest falling a part is beyond me or them. Normally you can say #ItGetsBetter but the reality is #ItWont,

Did you try turning her off and back on again? Blowing on her cartridge? A rain dance? This is prolly the most superstitious topic on this site.
