Error

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Well, I tried to recreate the error, and I couldn't.

I received that same error a few months back, when I tried to post a very long review. I then tried breaking the post down into smaller and smaller sections to determine where the problem was. Turns out, it was one little emoji that I had entered into the original Word doc. When I copy/pasted into the BLF post, that one little smiley face would give that error, and wouldn't allow me to save the post.

In fact, it just did it again (I tried testing with the same smiley face).

Here's a link to the word doc. Copy/paste the smiley face into a post, then try to save it.

Link to word doc HERE.

Seems odd that you can preview it, but can't save it.

Thanks for this Terry! I have been having a heck of a time lately with starting longer threads or longer replies to threads. I would try to post them but would just get an “Er 4” or whatever and it wouldn’t let me post.

Like you, I could preview my thread or reply but couldn’t post either. After reading your reply here, I went and removed the emojis generated by my iPad in my threads or responses and success! I could now post! Weird.
