Very low priority issues with the introduction of new PHP
This is not an issue that needs attention because it's probably going to be solved with newer Composr versions, but we have a Member that posts in the Forums. Those Forum posts often contain pictures. Those pictures have filenames with things like ` and ' and " in them. The post does save to the database, but Composr deletes the IMG tag because of the unusual characters. I usually go in and download the pics, rename them, and create the post for them again, so it's not a high level issue. A similar issue exists with the same Member when attempting to send Private messages/Topics to other members. That's because (probably) their nickname has a ' in it.Invalid characters passed for attempted conversion, these have been ignored in /sources/misc_scripts.php on line 132
and
PS STILL unable to start NEW Private Topic - in Email system
Just tells me "Error accured" followed by:
Either you (“'Light'”) have lost access between the time of the link you clicked appearing and now, you have found a bug, or you are jumping into URLs.
I have offered to try to change their nickname to remove the ' mark as a fix.

There's a hot fix in…
0004135: Inconsistencies applying forum permissions - Composr CMS feature tracker
Likely there is something the user lacks to create a PT. Check they have the "Create Private Topics" privilege. Check whoever they are trying to talk to hasn't set limited access to who they allow PTs from.
I'll reply to the rest separately.

- If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
- If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
