donfoo is right, text editors like word and others copy code that when copy and pasted are hidden. Some of the characters are not allowed to be submitted to the database. It is best to use textedit for the mac or notepad for windows when pasting into the reply field. We will continue to look into solutions that might eliminate the unicode problem. Thanks for sharing.

But why would it show up in the "Preview Reply" but disappear when submitted?

Susan it uses temporary storage to preview what it would look like for a visual reference. When you press submit it actually posts to the database. If there are foreign characters that you cant see then the post will fail because it never actually gets submitted.

Thanks! It really helps knowing this! For now, I will do use Notepad if needed for my long notes!

Another thing to try is to make sure you select "using HTML" in the Markup.

The "Markup" section does not appear for me on this screen, so I cannot select "using HTML" as an option here.

So I checked both "Edit Profile" and "Edit Preferences" under My Stuff, and could not see an option to select HTML.

Under "Post Options" I have two listed: "HTML is disabled" and "UBBCode is enabled".

Also, I don't have the option to "Lock this topic", but I assume that is given to only those with special powers! grin Otherwise, what I see is the same as the screen shot above.

I checked this on my laptop (Windows7/IE) and iPad w/ Safari - the same on both.

My first try to post this message was using Word, copy/paste to Notepad, then copy/paste to OCF - didn't work.

I retyped in Notepad, then copy/paste to OCF - did work!

I first started using Word to type longer posts because Safari was quitting on me in the middle or near end of a post, but quit doing the Copy & Paste for problems already mentioned. So I am happy just using Word to type anything that might be longer than a few sentences and then re-typing directly on the OCF message area (instead of copy & paste). I type pretty fast so it doesn't take that long to do.

[quote]My first try to post this message was using Word, copy/paste to Notepad, then copy/paste to OCF - didn't work.[/quote]When text is copied from Word and pasted into Notepad, all the hidden code is removed BUT there are a few nasties that will get through the copy/paste and still remain in notepad even though they are invisible.

The only way to ensure 100% you have clean ABC text only is to start the text in Notepad and copy/paste into the forum text block.

On most posts yesterday I got the message the post was duplicated when I hit submit. I thought it odd bit went to the active posts and all were there. Surely it wasn't only me??
