Can anyone help? I am trying to post a new thread on the Trying to Find board and keep getting the message in red "keywords can only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z), underscores (_) etc.

Every time I try to type something I get this message. I don't have any characters that would not be acceptable or not fit into this category. What is happening?

Regards, MEgirl

first new thread I have created since July, is anyone else experiencing this?

I tried cutting and pasting from one thread to another the other day and had same problem - time and time again

Eventually went thru and deleted everything that was not a letter and it worked

In my case the >>>>. Caused the problem although it was fine when originally posted - it would not let me c&p them
