"There's daggers in men's smiles." - Donalbain, Macbeth, Act II, scene iii

Pardon your dust.

I seem to have hit a snafu with the News Article feature. I am unsure as to what causes this snafu, so I'm turning to the Community for help.

Whenever I attempt to submit or edit any news item on Bungie.net, I receive this error: This field has invalid HTML in it. We have attempted to auto-remove offending HTML, please resubmit after checking content.

I've switched browsers, deleted all text items in the to-be-submitted article and retyped them, stripped all [possible] unicode in the article, and yet I still receive this error.

How do I fix this?

Have you try to turn it off and turn it back on?

I would always get that when I had a lot of text. Even if you aren't anywhere near the character limit. It was always finicky. Try cutting down the post?

I threw it against the wall, if that counts.

@burritosenior: To test the error, I created a news article which had the title of 'article' and the body of the article said 'body' and I still received the error.

Surely 4 characters wouldn't trigger the character limit, though I could be mistaken.

That won't solve the issue you are having.

I mean literally, have you restart your machine? If that doesn't work, just wait for tomorrow. Who knows, they might be doing some server maintain tonight.

I thought you were being coy.

I have restarted my machine; the error is still present. I'll wait it out if no other solution arises.

This should be at the bottom of all error screens on BNet. It would make everyone's lives a lot easier.

OT: Can you post? Or make articles in another group?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Don't use <HTML> tags in your article.

Better yet, avoid '<' & '>' altogether.
