Have you read my response here?

By the afternoon of 30 August, Brig. Gen. William Starke's Louisiana Brigade of Jackson's Division had begun to run very low on ammunition. Then around 3.00 pm the men of John Hatch's Federal Brigade advanced on the Louisiana troops who were defending a section of the unfinished railroad near the "Deep Cut". Despite heavy fire Hatch's men pressed forward. A number of the Southern infantrymen eventually ran out of cartridges and rather than stand idly by they began throwing stones at the advancing Yankees. The Confederate line was never in serious danger; Porter's attack had already spent itself and the Louisianians were speedily reinforced by C.W. Field's Brigade of Virginians. However, the symbolism of the event was too powerful to ignore and became on of the most famous of the war.
Instead of it "going through", I got the message "1 error prohibited this quote from being saved:" but it didn't actually give a reason, just "Please try again later." This sort of thing has been happening over and over again for the last couple months: It won't actually save the quote but also won't give a reason for not saving it. Sometimes when I tried some time later to save it, the quote might (but not always) get saved.
Can someone else try to save this particular quote?
