I'm getting this message every time I try to post in the 2016 recruiting thread:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x90\xBB\xE2\xAC...' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.

This would be a great post in the General Discussion thread.

I was able to post in that thread but it took a really long time to load my post after I made it.

Try it now and let us know what happens.

No big deal. I was just saying a quick glance at Speights tweets post FSU seem pretty positive for UofA.

Our SQL database is a real bear. That's been the holdup in transferring the db to the permanent domain. A 3rd part php script is needed to handle the import of our DB into a blank DB on the new host. I have yet to get said script to migrate the data yet...bastards. lol. I may need to seek assistance in the near future if things remain at cross purposes.

Sorry if this is too ... stupid ... but can't a database be exported in a variety of formats, then imported into a new one with the appropriate sql query? I've only watched over someone's shoulder while something like this has been done, so I could be getting it all wrong, just wondering.

This is the procedure phpbb recommends:

The DB needs to be rebuilt and imported into a blank SQL db using bigdump.php. When I reach the step to actually run bigdump the script turn out a bizarre screen output basically listing every bit of possible text (all error and notices, lol). It it supposed to be a nice java interface when it works right.

Following a recommended procedure?

Woah, woah, woah....are you one of those guy who reads the assembly directions too?


Guess phpbb is more complicated than what I was seeing in the past
