I get an SQL error when I try to send a pm.

@ molly - try using the bbcode

Code: Select all

[code] [/code]

around your text that has special characters in it.

thanks b10h4z4rd. I thought of that, then I fell asleep. I will post here if it works.

EDIT: I tried the code and it didn't work.

I can send PMs OK. Is this a "one of a kind" error or do you get this message with any PM you send?

I'll check the server error logs for any other details I can find.

What happens is someone asked me how to do a certain step in a tutorial and I copied and pasted that one part of the tutorial into the pm. That is the part that wouldn't send. It is weird. This is what I posted below

Code: Select all

Go to Layers → CloneLayer Tool and choose Rotate.
For Angle use 30° and Clone 12 times, make sure you chose under Additional Options 'Grouping
Cloned Layers' (which should be the default).
This creates your flower shape.

And that text has a non-ASCII character in it:

Try replacing it.

okay, that makes sense, thanks Kevin. :oops:

EDIT: that did the trick Kevin, thank you.
