"Invalid character used in review text"

I've no idea whether this is the problem, but there are different versions of hyphens, and I think I have seen this error once copying and pasting something with a hyphen that was then set to a nonstandard hyphen in the review and wasn't accepted. I think the standard one "-" is actually "minus", at least that one is surely accepted.

If you can copy your reviews in plain text form, or paste them into a simple text program (for me with Windows I would use Notepad), the copy and poste that, then that should work. You might still need to edit it a bit in the text program. If you go into Member Control Panel, then Forum Preferences, then disable the WYSIWYG post editor, you could use this thread to paste them into, then copy them and paste them into the reviews boxes (easier ways to do things). It could be different punctuation or code being injected when not pasted as plain text.

The apostrophes might have been an issue, I changed them here into the default forum style (not that that and the reviews part work with the same architecture):

Try posting this in reviews for The Emerald Dawn's Nocturne (quoted from your reviews):

The Emerald Dawn take progressive rock back to the sound of IQ and Marillion on this album, meaning it's quite synth-heavy. It keeps the tempo down for the most part, moving smoothly along, and the drums often impart a jazzy feel. I'm not the biggest fan of the sound palette on this album, and I wish they would have mixed it up a bit more. And like many, many progressive rock albums, the songs (all 8-20 minutes) have a tendency to become unfocused or drag at moments. But if you're a big fan of IQ or other neo-prog acts, give this a go!

Now I gotta figure out a way to give myself credit, per the review posting guidelines (and my own desire to hopefully see more traffic at my site).
