Topic: Unable to submit films to the "Releases" section.

Hi, I have attempted to submit my Easter contest film to the forum's Releases section twice now. It has appeared in the film directory but not in the forum. I think that it has something to do with my username (?) because it gives an error message that seems to implicate that. If someone could help I would be thankful. If the error message is needed, I will get it and put it here.

On a less important note, I noticed in a thread down the "Updates & Feedback" page a ways that Brickhead was able to get his username changed by Sméagol. If it is not a ton of trouble do you think I could get my username changed to A'nW instead of An'W (or just AnW if my username having a single quote in it is preventing me from submitting to the releases forum)? "A'nW" is the one I always use, I just accidentally typed wrong when I signed up to this forum.:( I don't want to be a bother though.

Hope to hear from someone.

I can change your username, but I don't think changing it from A'nW to An'W is going to help with your directory submission problem. It's quite possible that the ' is indeed what is causing the issue.

Oh hi Sméagol, thanks for getting back so quick! Yeah, I kind of figure that it is the ' causing the issue. Guess I'll have to settle for something else. Do you think that you could go ahead and change my username to just AnW? I hope that clears up the submission issues. Thanks for your time.

Changed, hopefully that'll fix your problem. Of course the ideal situation would be tweaking the code for the directory to allow this stuff, but it's beyond my abilities and we don't have any programmers available to help with this stuff currently.

Thanks a lot Sméagol. Yep, that did the trick, the ' was the problem. I got my film posted in the "Releases" section now. Yeah, it would be nice to have that handled be the forum code, but if there are no coders available right now that will just have to wait. For my part, I don't mind changing my username that much. mini/smile

On a side note, I want to say thanks for helping run this site. Don't know how often you get thanked, but I really appreciate it! Love your films too.
