Error when replying to thread with picture

Just replied to this thread with a picture link:

Got the error below:



It seems my post was added though.

Using Chrome on Windows 7 32 bit.

Hi funkyrobot,

Thanks for your feedback. I have noted it down to be investigated.

Thanks,

Ok.

Have had the issue twice since. Earlier and literally on a post just now.

[funkyrobot]

Just happened again.

[funkyrobot]

And again.

I imagine it will do it every time you reply with a picture link.

Thought of that and tested it. It worked on this thread:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

However, this thread threw the error:

It just broke again on the second thread without posting a picture link.

It looks like the heading of the topic you're replying to, more specifically the @ symbol inside it, is the cause of the error. I've spoken to another techie and problems surrounding special characters in topic headings are a known issue.

In this case I have found that clicking the "Return to Topic" link is the only way to reproduce the error. Is this the same for you, or can you get the error by another means?

Thanks,
Dom

Spot on. I can re-create it in the topic with the '@' character. It's when you click 'return to topic' that the issue occurs.

This should now be resolved.

If you are still experiencing this issue then please let us know.

Thanks,
Dom
