error stopping me from making PMs

Post by CharlieCC »

It always comes up as "general error" and "incorrect string value" would anyone be able to help?

Oh, there you go. :) I just sent you an e-mail asking you for your username, but I guess it's you. :-)

Are there any similarities between the PM's your trying to send? The same parts of the text, or a code, or the members you're trying to send them to?

Ah, I see the problem of not being able to post at all anymore is gone, right?

Have you tried making a new account yet? If you can send a PM through there without a problem, then we can narrow it down a bit.

And can you try to send me a PM as well?

That's a separate issue that we're aware of, and trying to find a solution to. However, we (the mods) were under the impression that we were the only ones suffering from it. You're the first 'regular' member that has mentioned it. :hmm:

Charlie, what browser are you using? Operating system? Phone, tablet, computer etc?

I could trace back your input to a particular letter, the Icelance "ETH":

Can you confirm or deny? Encoding is a weird business, it might never have been typed by you.
