Yeah, some times, if you paste something from Word or WordPad into the web the web control that is used by the forum, you'll get that error message.  Mainly because the clipboard data from those 2 programs contains a bunch of extra stuff in it that the control tries to paste as raw HTML.  Pasting it into Notepad, Notepad2, or EditPadPro (or any other raw text editor) and then copying it from there works the best.

Hi,

Just for the record the problem I had was the error:

"The board administrator has requested that you must provide some message content within your post. You cannot post just HTML..."

The problem was that I constructed the message in WordPad (to copy/paste the error messages from VS). From there I copied and pasted into the post. This time I copied into Notepad first then copy/pasted into the post and all was ok.

Cheers, Peter
