Title: Character creation
Post by: cloney on September 25, 2008, 07:04:30 AM

I am trying to submit a character for approval but all the info is not being included in the post. My first 2 attempts were stopped by using an unrecognised character in my name (an e with an accent). I have looked at my 3rd attempt and only part of the bio has been posted up to where I used an apostrophe - should this be happening?

regards cloney

It's a known bug with these forums when cpying & pasting documents from word processors like Microsoft Word.  To remedy it you need only replace your punctuation from that generated by your word processor before posting.  Another alternative is to write your document in Windows Notepad, but again special characters like your accented 'e' may not work.

Thanks for the replies.
  I have managed to edit my last character submission by removing the apostrophe so the bio is now complete.
