Dani,

I had a very similar issue, I could read every post, the site showed I was logged in but I was unable make any replies at all. Solved my issue by switching the program I was using to access the page. Now that I use Microsoft Edge when I want to visit Duck Boats, I have no problems. Don't know might help ?

Thanks Dave.

I actually was using edge. Now am on my iphone so seem able to reply and post.

I did not try other web pages so I don't know if the problem was Edge or something else.

There is a clue in the error. Your browser is throwing an unrecognized character that precedes the word "Boot." Unicode lookup for \xAE is the trademark symbol, "circle R". Do you recall entering that? Perhaps as a cut and paste job?

This is going to continue to plague us until there are some modifications to the site at a deeper level than I can do. All I can say is don't use wacky characters. Stick to the basics and if you copy and paste use the paste as text option.

It might be time to sunset this forum script.... But I simply don't have the time now to relaunch the site with new forum software.

Eric
