Loss Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 This is a known issue that I'll hopefully have resolved soon. I am waiting to hear back from our server guy, as he did an upgrade recently and it messed a few things up, most of which have been fixed by now. But if your post contains a "smart" apostrophe (one that curls to the left or right), you'll receive the IPS Driver Error because the board doesn't recognize the character. If you encounter this, make sure that your post doesn't have any smart apostrophes and it should go through successfully. I realize this is an inconvenience, especially when copying and pasting something that may contain this character. Hopefully it will be fixed very soon.

ohtani's jacket Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 This also occurs if you use accent marks as I've discovered a few times with lucha names. Not sure if it happens on the forums but definitely on my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I do a lot of copy and paste in the yearbook threads so my posts are a mess currently. Was noticing this yesterday when reading the comments. I need to use less contractions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 This bug really is annoying. At times I don't understand why it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 It's been killing me the last 24 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Apostrophes. Hyphens. Accents. I see a lot of people struggling with this. It's as simple as that. Anything that isn't plain text will not be accepted. If you copy your post into Notepad then paste it here, it will work every time. The upgrade is still on for this weekend, so this won't be an issue for more than a few more days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
