I haven't heard back from Barbra Silva.Â Do you think we should just get the shirts made up as is for our group?Â Â I'm kinda getting tired of waiting.Â I'm afraid we'll really lose the momentum if we keep holding on.

I tried to pm you, but the system won't let me.

I got no choice! my kids are watching Star Wars for the 1st time.

I was joking... although after all is said and done, maybe the debate would be more entertaining than a Nats game

kimnat · « **Reply #5:** May 03, 2007, 08:03:00 PM »

I knew you were.

The Chief · « **Reply #6:** May 03, 2007, 08:07:33 PM »

You can't PM anyone with an apostrophe in their name, you have to delete the apostrophe and spell the recipient name as if there were none i.e. "Ericas Nats" instead of "Erica's Nats"

kimnat · « **Reply #7:** May 03, 2007, 08:08:49 PM »

then how come it never messed up before when I just hit reply?Â

it does it whether I type in the name or just reply.

It's not consistent at how it inserts names. If I view Erica's profile and click "send personal message," it wrongly fills in the recipient as "Erica's Nats." If I click the "search for members" button and find Erica that way, it correctly fills the name in as "Ericas Nats." (correctly for the purposes of sending her a PM anyway). From what you say, it sounds like hitting reply to a PM also works the correct way. It's a code bug in the forum, plain and simple. I could probably fix it but I'm not too keen on breaking something else so I'd rather just submit a bug report to the people who maintain the code and let them issue a patch. In the meantime just do as I said and remove apostrophes from the recipient name when you're sending her PMs. I probably shouldn't have allowed punctuation in people's names, but it's too late now!

I don't mind doing that, but I can't respond to her and I can't even browse. I'll try again though.

kimnat · « **Reply #10:** May 03, 2007, 08:17:32 PM »

OK! It works! It even found her on the browse this time!

What can't you browse?

nevermind.

kimnat · « **Reply #12:** May 03, 2007, 08:18:27 PM »

looking under Find Member, I mean. How come this is the first time I've had a problem w/ this? Just a little hiccup somewhere?

The Chief · « **Reply #13:** May 03, 2007, 08:19:04 PM »

Have you ever tried to send a non-reply PM to her before?

kimnat · « **Reply #14:** May 03, 2007, 08:21:30 PM »

Have you sent her one since we switched forums?

kimnat · « **Reply #16:** May 03, 2007, 08:26:28 PM »

not since you did some work to stuff a few days ago. I think she and I PM'ed early/mid last week.

The Chief · « **Reply #17:** May 03, 2007, 08:30:09 PM »

I'll file a bug report and see if I can find a solution.

kimnat · « **Reply #18:** May 03, 2007, 08:32:18 PM »

I guess the forum hates proper punctuation as much as ILRZ does!
