So when I'm posting on the forum, I get constant SQL errors... I noticed it always does it if I use a special character, like a heart, but it sometimes does it for completely plaintext posts as well.
The specific message I get is:
Obviously, the specific string itself varies with the topic I'm trying to post to. I type up my comments directly in the forum's text entry boxes, so there's no issue of Word docs converting some punctuation marks into a special character. I'm kind of at a loss. Is it just me? It happens on my work computer and my home laptop, and it happens whether I'm in Firefox or Chrome. I went through the topic titles of a few pages of the Website Comments forum back until mid-2013 in case someone else had listed this problem as well, but I didn't see anything. Any advice on what I can do to stop getting constant SQL errors?
Thanks!
