Magento Unable to post review - forms

Question

I am trying to add a review to a product in magento. However, submitting the review form of a product in the frontend gives me an "Unable to post review message".
I haven't found a solution to the problem, that's why im calling in your help :)
This is the code from my review form:
<div class="form-add">
<h2><?php echo $this->__('Write Your Own Review') ?></h2>
<?php if ($this->getAllowWriteReviewFlag()): ?>
<form action="<?php echo $this->getAction() ?>" method="post" id="review-form">
<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('form_fields_before') ?>
<h3><?php echo $this->__("You're reviewing:"); ?>
<span><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getProductInfo()->getName()) ?></span>
</h3>
<div class="fieldset">
<?php if ($this->getRatings() && $this->getRatings()->getSize()): ?>
<h4><?php echo $this->__('How do you rate this product?') ?> <em class="required">*</em></h4>
<span id="input-message-box"></span>
<table class="data-table review-summary-table ratings" id="product-review-table">
<col width="1"/>

Looks like the standard rwd theme layout. If i delete my custom one so the rwd default pops up it still doesn't work.
The url that i'm posting from is as following:
https://www.example.com/review/product/post/id/73/
Hope someone can help me in the right direction. It's driving me crazy!!!

Answer 1

I solved the problem myself.
It had nothing to do with the reviews themselves. My first thought was a module that blocked access to the reviews, and after searching in de controller for reviews we found out that the problem was a module that couldn't have a certain length of characters stored in the database. This somehow conflicted with the reviews post.
After contacting the developers of that module we were able to solve the problem. The module was MailPlus and we solved it by going to the module its configuration and edited the following for Main website:
After changing this the reviews form started working again.
Thanks everybody for helping me!
