I keep getting this pop up from time to time. Only started in the last week or so.

Have you been copy/pasting from another application into RPoL?

That can cause it, particularly if you are using tabs in the original, since web documents cannot display tabs.

No, I was typing up the post in thread. No cut and paste.. simply typing up things.

I don't typically hit tab.. BUT I might have fumbled finger something. Thanks for the response.

In the form, tab should actually move you out of the form to the Preview button.

Perhaps characters non-standard to English?  Such as é or ö?

Nothing I could see. I would type up a two or three paragraph post and get the error.. cutting and pasting it till I get to a sentence that would trigger the error woudl show me nothing.

Very strange!  If you figure it out, please let us know.

New keyboard for my mac pro.. maybe there is something in the keystrokes I don't see.. only thing I can figure.

Very good possibility that it's inserting things you cannot see that the form doesn't like.

This is a table of "low ascii characters".  I don't know which ones jase has marked as bad for us, but I suspect it's those below #32.  Perhaps this can help?  Hard to tell!  http://www.siber-sonic.com/mac...tstuff/lowASCII.html

Ahh, didn't see this post in my first read over. I'll look at the characters. I have run into this problem recently and am at a loss. I'll try the link to, hopefully get out from under the problem.

Something interesting...

I copied my text and entered in a OpenOffice.org Writer (a word processing program) and I noticed a bunch of odd "#" characters interspersed in the text. I just took those out and the text I was trying to post now goes through! I hope that helps.

Do you know how they got in the text in the first place?  Like KainTheSeeker, is it potentially a problem with a new keyboard or some such?

In reply to cruinne (msg # 11):

Couldn't really tell you. I have no good idea of where those hashtags came from. It could have been my multi-langauge laptop keyboard with an unseen key command I didn't notice or it could have cropped up from copy/paste actions from PDF files (easier to copy/paste a single word from one window into next for me rather than type out a new or game-specific word). Those are the only guesses I have, really.

I only know the treatment for the problem; but, not the preventative measure, sorry.

Copy/pasting from PDF can definitely do it -- there are a lot of invisible characters buried in those for formatting and the like.
