Re: Add Event button sometimes doesn't add the event
Another member recently posted this same problem.

I suspect the issue at work relates to event descriptions pasted from MS Word. Beyond the visible text you appear to paste, Word includes a lot of other baggage that blows out the 2,000 character limit in the event description.

I think the Anonymous Event addition screen has a bug that is not informing users when this has occurred. Thus, it appears the event has been added successfully when in fact the underlying database will reject it.

We are trying to duplicate this problem and either strip out Word's extra "junk", or provide an appropriate error message.
