Getting an error when posting a movie review!!!
I am getting the following error msg when posting a review for the movie "Ain't Them Bodies Saints": Sorry, your submission contains the following invalid characters: . Please correct them and resubmit.
I've edited in many versions with/without character full stop and getting the same error. I've submitted many reviews and I've never had this issue before.
Please help.
Thanks
Luis

It's probably not the full stop, but a space character that is not displayed, as in this earlier topic:

If you wrote the review in another program you may also have imported the special character. You should try to use a copy without such characters. You could try using this application, suggested by another user:

How did I find out the issue??
I removed paragraph by paragraph until I found the error. The issue was in the comma I used after the word "Actually,". This is very stupid as there weren't any special characters or invalid or soft-hyphen or non-breaking-space or invisible character... it was A COMMA!! IMDB tech team should fix this issue and make the review section exactly like this text box.
It's very frustrating to write a big review and then find out we can't post it because of an unknown error. Please make it more user-friendly!!
