Warning: Unexpected character in input: blah blah blah

[JoeFriday]

is anyone else getting a lot of errors lately when trying to view threads?

 

[phototone]

Yes, it is most irritating,

 

[Cheme]

Yep, me too.

 

[phototone]

and also, and it could be my fault, though I don't understand how I did it. I find I am having to log in regularly, even if I leave the RFDR window up in my web browser all the time. I used to not have to do this.

I have a mac running 10.3 and I have an SBC DSL connection, so I am constantly "on". No dialup. Safari is my web browser.

phototone, I'm also running 10.3 and Safari on a cable modem.. I never have to re-login.. whether I quit Safari or even restart my Mac.. maybe you need to select some "keep me logged in" option somewhere

Hi,

First post, clear your cookies. Worked for FireFox/W2K @ work, haven't seen the problem here at home on Safari yet.

Update: Just ran into the problem here on Safari, dump the RFF cookies and things seem to work from then on.

phototone: Click the 'Remember Me?' check box by the login box, and make sure you are accepting cookies in your browser.

I get the unexpected character error once in a while; but if I immediately refresh, it loads fine.

Mac running Tiger 10.4.1

ha!, just got it when I hit the "Post Quick Reply" button to submit last message.

I got this error too, if I refresh sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm running firefox on Win2k

I've got this message a few times, normally when I've been reading long threads. I guess over time the links get confused which sometimes sorts it out by a refresh. Otherwise I just restart the browser. Usually using firefox on XP.

If this is PHPBB here is the fix :

There is some of that code in there, I looked.

If on IE, go to "Tools", "Internet Options", "General" tab, and select "Delete Cookies". This only deletes cookies in the temp folder.

Working pretty well for me so far.
