It is so irritating, when i try to post or send a PM I get the error that something is wrong with the database, and that I have to contact an administrator if I saw the screen again.
This is the error:
Database Error
"Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator."
-
I get it a lot too.
-
Because you're using letters that is not allowed on the forum. I have to agree, it's pretty annoying.
Please allow more letters..

I tried sending a post, no noticable bad Characters and it would not let me send.
-
Haven't got a single one, yet...

It reacts on "special" characters. Often such are created when a post is written with a non-English language keyboard. Also making a post in Word and copying it can cause this.

I use an English Keyboard and it did it to me.
-
It was just english I wrote.. Not any special characters..

I believe if you set the forum database style to UTF-8 and from MySQL to MySQLi, it should fix this issue. The only thing is once in a while you'll have to run the maintenance thing that converts UTF-8 code to UTF-8 characters.

It took me like three days to finally submit a considerabely long post, all because the forum won't accept the pound sign. :gd:

It has been set like that from the beginning.

Have you run a UTF-8 conversion yet?

If it was set to UTF-8 form the beginning, what's to convert? :poke:

UTF-8 code to characters. ;)

UTF-8 code to characters. ;)
Bingo.
-
What's the difference between 'code' and 'characters'? It's one thing (character encoding system/format) - UTF-8, isn't it?
-
Characters are text that are simply displayed. Code is text that is executed.
-
So is this fixed or..?

Nope. Appears the issue was made even more common by the forum restoration and upgrade. My guess at this point is the files are getting messed up from the upgrade with mods being installed throughout the events because the same issue broke the search function on FBI forums, and messed up the theme in a few ways. FBI forums themselves seem to have since fixed their search issue, but it seems the theme issues still exist, just as Argo Forum has it's own. Unfortunately SMF 2 stopped auto-uninstalling mods during upgrades a few RC versions back, so people didn't notice and they had been upgrading their forums while incompatible mods, or just mods in general, were still installed, thus bugging up all the code. :P
