Topic: Why can't I send topics anymore?.

[Old Moe Toe]

In the past if I find a topic that particularly interests me I would hit the send button and send it to an email address to keep for future reference.
About 6 months ago this feature stopped working and when I try to send a topic a notice appears that says invalid character used and the topic wont send. I have checked the characters and they are all correct to no avail.
Anyone else have this issue?, or any tips on how to fix it?.
Thanks

I’ll have to look into this.  This is the first time I’m aware of this particular issue.  This could be a server issue or have been caused by one of the software updates that happened over the past few months.  It will take a bit of time to sort out.

Thanks Glenn. I just checked and it was about June 2017 that this problem started. Have lost count of the number of times since then that I have tried to send topics.

That narrows it down.  I gave it a try and ran into the same error.  After some quick searching, I found that this appears to be related to a software bug introduced in an update around May 2017.  I also found a suggested fix, but I’ll need to investigate it further when I have time - probably Friday - since it will involve making a code change and doing some testing.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.  I’ll post back to this thread when I have more information to share.

Any progress with this Glenn?
Still not working for me.

In case you didn't get my email, this is fixed.  A software bug from 2017 that has apparently not been fixed in subsequent updates.
