Posted January 10, 201411 yr comment_5579475 This is a known issue that I'll hopefully have resolved soon. I am waiting to hear back from our server guy, as he did an upgrade recently and it messed a few things up, most of which have been fixed by now. But if your post contains a "smart" apostrophe (one that curls to the left or right), you'll receive the IPS Driver Error because the board doesn't recognize the character. If you encounter this, make sure that your post doesn't have any smart apostrophes and it should go through successfully. I realize this is an inconvenience, especially when copying and pasting something that may contain this character. Hopefully it will be fixed very soon.

January 11, 201411 yr comment_5579518 I do a lot of copy and paste in the yearbook threads so my posts are a mess currently. Was noticing this yesterday when reading the comments. I need to use less contractions!

January 30, 201411 yr Author comment_5583189 Apostrophes. Hyphens. Accents. I see a lot of people struggling with this. It's as simple as that. Anything that isn't plain text will not be accepted. If you copy your post into Notepad then paste it here, it will work every time. The upgrade is still on for this weekend, so this won't be an issue for more than a few more days.
