IPS Driver Error

[Loss]

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.

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.

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!

Thanks. I was wondering why I couldn't reply to a PM.

This bug really is annoying. At times I don't understand why it doesn't work.

It's been killing me the last 24 hours

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.

Here's an online tool that can assist with this until we do the upgrade:

Thanks Loss....so I can blame Meltz now for the problem.

I get the IPS error whenever I use the GBP pounds sign too.
