moosetracker Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have tried to post something 3 times and get an ODBC - SQl error.. Seeing if it is the post or the system, by posting this. If this get through, I also have a gripe.. When I write something if my password or username is wrong, it says I can go back to re-do the password.. 10% of the time, I don't loose my message, 90% of the time, the message is wiped out.. I don't mind fixing the error, but if it was a long post, I hate loosing all I wrote! This error did not give me the link to return & fix, and the back page lost everything too.. Frustrating, but I can understand when the error is an uncontroled error.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosetracker Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Ok I guess it's the post but it is saying the error is due to an equal sign (true equal sign).. and I don't have one in the post. I will try again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFansome Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 This is a known issue that's been around a while with the forum software. If you don't have a Subject: for your post --or-- if your subject contains certain characters (such as a single quote - '), then you'll get errors when you try to create a new topic on the boards.

SeattlePioneer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hello moosetracker, I get that kind of error when I do something like: 1) don't have my username correct --- "seattle pioneer" rather than "seattlepioneer" for example. 2) Fail to select a forun on which the post will appear. Usually a minor error that is easy to overlook. With a long post, you might want to copy it to a notepad file until it posts correctly ---- we don't want to lose any words of wisdom!
