Weird, I get a database error when I post one thing but it allows me to post if I change the text. Are there some things we're not allowed to post about?

I tried posting about the Sinnis T380 which looks like it will be a direct competitor to the Himalayan.

You can post about anything you want to post about but the forums software doesn't like the British standard keyboard symbols.  It doesn't like a lot of little things that shouldn't make any difference like the kind of comma it sees.

I know I've "copy'd" posts that were typed in Europe and it wouldn't accept them.

If the post was made using the U.S. keyboard it seems to work better.

The forum will accept anything that I type directly into the message box on my U.S. keyboard and any attachment I make, within the size limitations of the system.  What it will not accept is anything that I "cut and paste", whether from another site, my email inbox, or even from the word processing program on my computer.   ???

It would really be nice if Kevin would get someone to reset the software perimeters to allow the system to accept a number of things but, that would take some money to pay the geek to do the job.

I guess we should be happy to have Kevin pay for the forum like it is even though we have to put up with its silliness.
