So I'll type a post, then go advanced or preview. The preview comes up fine, but all the text has disappeared from the text window. Huh? Did I get a switch set wrong somehow? Looked at all the buttons, but didn't seem to find anything to fix it.

Yikes!!!! Post without proof-reading and fixing! ARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!

Just happened to me a few minutes ago.
Hit the browser back button and tried again.
Second time worked fine.

Yeah, I've experienced this a couple of times too.. it's driving me fsking crazy. I think it's related to special formatting and or possibly certain emoticons. Still debugging it.

I just tried again but no go. I was going to remove the links as they are no good.

It's the funky apostrophe in Pillar's name. Reply to yourself.. remove her name, the apostrophe, and the quote tags.. save.. and then I bet you'll be able to edit.

This isn't a good thing, but at least I know where to start tracking down the problem. I was having the same problem with the apostrophe in Mitt Romney's name from the WashPo article.. Ajax is choking on the encoding.

Yes, I can edit the "new" post. Still not the old post. I simply made a new post before with proper links. I was just curious whats up. As for the apostrophe, its from a Spanish Keyboard. A lot of the characters are slightly different on her keyboard.

Also, on a gaming forum I was mod on they had the same issue with said apostrophe not too long ago. If it is any help I could ask the admin what was causing the issue but I dont think they used the same forum software so I am not sure it will do any good.

Well, it's an UTF-8/ISO-8859-1 thing. Might even be a server setting.. because it's working on another implementation of vBulletin 4.2 that I have.. and all the other settings match AFAIK. Still researching.

I know that in the past on some of the gaming forums I host I have had similar issues after upgrading. Me finding said issues is well...not gonna happen. Thank god I have my brother! xD

Well last time I saw him on here he said something about moving, I believe. Now I could be wrong but I thinks thats what he said. Maybe life is busy with work and such.
