Keep getting "Internal Server Error" or some crap when I try to send a PM. Everything else appears to be working fine.

I specifically can't reply to a PM from kuenjha, I guess.

I've gotten that several times in the past month or two. I tried logging out and back in. Completely shut down my computer. Tried cutting and pasting the message into a word processor, saving it then pasting back. No success. Finally I noticed that each time it happened the message was lengthy. Length of the message MAY be an issue.

I've sent much longer messages before though.

My message was shorter than your post:

I was answering his question as to how to send gifts...KUENJHA IF YOU SEE THIS^^^lol

AHA! It is something in my message to him that makes it not work! I can't copy and paste the message I tried to send him here and still post!

I wish we could replicate that and send it to a couple of posters ...

NO. This must be fixed...right? lol

I'm trying again...

Yep, I still can't post what I have copied.

Try posting it a sentence at a time. If the first sentence works, hit Edit and post the next sentence. Repeat. If there's an offending character that might isolate it where the problem is.

Well...I can't post the very first sentence.

Click on "vbPlaza" drop down arrow, select "Give Gifts"...

(This version is re-written and not copy/pasted)

...you're smart enough to get it from there, I'm sure. ;)

(This is the second part of the sentence. Together, I can not post the parts.)

fwiw, Rees's Pieces just sent me a PM and I tried to reply to him and it says they can't find the username "Rees'es Pieces". And all I did was click reply and type my message. Tried several different times and it won't let me. Never had this happen before. Maybe because he changed his name???

Does someone else want to try posting that sentence to see if they can do it?

I just copied and pasted your two part posts using the multi-quote function then spliced the two half messages into a single sentence got the "INTERNAL SERVER MESSAGE" and couldn't post.

I was able to Copy and Paste the first part of your post in Post #21

http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/help-feedback-suggestions/62427-cannot-pm.html#post536433

but when I added the second part I got the "INTERNAL SERVER MESSAGE". I only tried to copy to the period not including the emoticon.

I then deleted the offending second part but repeated attempts of my mine to EDIT Post #21 all generate the "INTERNAL SERVER MESSAGE".

I think there's either a bad character or a hidden character causing the problem.

Did you "copy" those titles in your message from the yellow banner at the top of the page or from a drop down menu?

Thinking back each time I've encountered the problem was when trying to send instructions to a poster on how to use a board feature like Gifts or the how to adust your features in the User Control Panel. Each time I copied the exact text from the menu to make it easier for the reader to find the feature being discussed. That may copy a character or link that the PM or Post box won't handle.
