database error massage

What is @lurk? Is that software or something or less pleasant reply to something I did wrong?

[Jeff]

Lurk is our member that is also a smf support guy. He is trying to help us on this.

 Why are you having more problems than everyone else? Not that everyone is not having issues we are.

Posting form a phone? Tablet? pc?
did you LOG OUT before you went and deleted all old cache AND cookies?

Are you coming back by typign the address or clickign on an old bookmark or browser prom[t?

[WV Sawmiller]

Typing reply from Dell laptop. If I knew why I was having more problems I'd fix the problem. Suggestion? See reply 21.

[WV Sawmiller]

When I try to make a post I go to the board, then thread, open it, click on reply and post if that is what you were asking.

[Jeff]

You never said you logged out first. Make sure you do that. Then close out. Obly suggestionI have at thos moment. As I said,I am trying. We have 2 member driven topics in the technical support area trying to sort all this out. Im a millrat not a server admin. Im about to have a stroke

Tried photo copy and paste from folder on PC and get message file too large. Same size jpg been posting for years.

This one I think I can help you with Howard.
The old system would automatically re-size your photo when you put it in your gallery to keep the overall file sizes down. You didn't know about, or even see this, it just happened. The new system will not do this for you, so you have to re-size your photos before uploading them. The photo size has to be under 2MB for each photo with a combined max of about 9somethingMB for the post. There is a running counter in the bottom of that frame you can watch.
Also, I have not tried 'copy and paste' with photos, I just drag them right into that window. It's a new world and we are all trying to figure out the rules to get along. We will get there.

[WV Sawmiller]

Using Dell laptop. Deleted cookies, history, passwords and shut off and re-opened.

I log off the Forum every time I enter exit - now. I used to stay logged on. If there are other files I need to delete I don't know what/where they are. It's hard being a dinosaur but someone has to do it. :

[Old Greenhorn]

Howard, did you read my reply to you (#31)? this should help you understand the new process a bit better.

Tis me, I am lurk.

Last night I had the same database error trouble, although it didn't give me a free massage.

That was on very old android phone running chrome browser. Laptop with firefox had no troubles and seems to still have no trouble. I will try the phone again later today.

[WV Sawmiller]

Tom, I read and hit like. I'll try when can post more than one line. I got DB error here when I added 2nd line.

[WV Sawmiller]

I wonder if hitting the enter key for new line is a factor?

Sir Lurksalot!  We will knight him when this is over.

You'll probably throttle me before this is over. I can only apologise for the time its taking.

[Jeff]

No way, and I know every member here appreciates this effort. Honestly, I do not know where we would be.

[Jeff]

I am not experiencing any errors anywhere when I use the desktop computer. Its only mobile I get them, and not very often.

[YellowHammer]

I get the error on my MacBook, M5, on message of any length.
Incorrect string value: '\xC2 ...' for column 'body' at row 1
File: /home/forestryforum4/public_html/board/Sources/Subs-Post.php
Line: 1897

[YellowHammer]

Oddly, once I got the error, I wasn't able to reply or modify my previous reply, either long or short, without exiting entirely, logging back in, and typing this I f this is getting though.

I tried to reply to Jeff's "NIghtmare" topic this morning and kept getting the "db" error.  After multiple attempts, I finally abandoned the reply.  That is my only recent bad experience and I chalk it up to a "whatever" that needs no investigation.  It was two paragraphs long but that does not even compare to some of OGH's replies.  ;)   

I am always on a Mac laptop.

Perhaps try it again.

[Magicman]

Thanks, but my mind is such that I can only write something once and then "my" database is empty.  Actually I had copied it thinking that if there was a failure I could paste, but that did not work either.

[WV Sawmiller]

I'm real sensitive and live in fear of rejection so repeating and getting another db fail traumatizes me.
