Having trouble posting [apple/android smileys chokes databas
For the last few months, sometimes, when I try to post, I get an error message, I can’t remember exactly what it said, I just wondered if anyone else has had it and if there’s a solution?

Re: Having trouble posting
Can you take a screenshot next time it happens?
And what do you do when it happens? Have you tried hitting the go-back button on your browser?

Re: Having trouble posting
I do have connection issues when submitting a post sometimes recently. This might very well be on the side of the host/ISP.
Screenshots/quotes still very welcome.

Hi Rom, this is what I get:
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x98\x94\x0A\x0A...' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]
An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
Please notify the board administrator or webmaster: wwgfa@hotmail.com
It’s happening a lot, for a few months now. This is about the only thread I’ve been able to reply to. Thanks for your help though!

Re: Having trouble posting
Ah yes, I had something similar recently. Googling the incorrect string value suggests you're trying to include emoji's from like an Android or iPhone: https://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode
Our forum software is too vintage to make sense of that, so it chokes on it. Only working smileys are the those you can make directly w/ your keyboard, which have been converted into images already in the posting screen.
