I sent this IM out at 8:41 AM today.

"Here are the details for you. I can photobomb you later if you want some pics, as I'll be out of the house today.

2023 ORP in nautical blue. Took delivery July 13th 2023. 2549 miles on the odometer, currently. I predict around 5K by the time I sell it. Accident free.

Garaged full time. Always hand washed. 2 bucket method. Has never been offroad or seen snow. We had 2 very light snows this year.

Installed mods:

Caliraised rock sliders, with reversable fillers. Professionally installed. They make great steps as well.

WILDPEAK A/T3W put on the truck when it had 53 miles. Severe weather rated snowflake emblem.

Full tint, except the moon roof. That includes the windshield, which is pretty much translucent

Factory add ons:

power moonroof, all weather floor liners and cargo tray, stock mats came with it and are still sealed in the cargo area.

dual usb power port/ charger that takes the front 12V port and converts it to USB high speed charging.

High performance LED foglights

10 year 100,000 miles Toyota platinum, $0 deductible warranty. It is transferrable. Expires July 12, 2033.

Price: 40K. Vehicle is paid off and title in hand."

When I hit the send button, this is what it was delivered as:

IMs still messed up.......

I replied to an IM and entered the verification code correctly. It said the code was incorrect and screwed up my replay and the original sender's message that I quoted.

I resent the message and got it to work. The only difference is that I didn't check the box to save a copy, so I think that's what is causing the issue.

Just sent another email wilt the correct captia again and still got all the garbled text and a failed to send PM.

Still happening. This is when I tried to send an IM this morning with correct verification.

Our dev team is actively working on a new IM system that will be much better than the current system. Last I heard, we may see it within the month. @stylz would have more precise info

Does it look any better if you hit the "BBCODE" button in the top left of the text window?

We're still in the discovery phase, we won't begin in earnest for at least a month. We will not be spending any more time updating this version of the tool in favor of moving faster on a completely new IM tool.

As far as the encoding issue, I don't recall if we have an exact cause, I'll double check with GB

@NvrBrdWes

No, it doesn't. I just tried to send an IM to a member here and typed in the correct captcha. I was given an error message of the captcha not being correct, along with it ruining the IM. I tried pressing the bbcode button and it did nothing. Glad I copied it before trying to send. It took about 20 min to type it.

Any update on the new version? I just tried sending another IM, like I previously posted. I entered the correct captcha numbers and get a message that it was incorrect and screws up my whole IM, so I have to retype it again.

We're making good progress and are currently testing it internally. I don't want to give an ETA, but the timeline is likely a couple of months.

The new IM tool will roll out for beta testing later this month or at the beginning of next month.

It's a complete rewrite and works as an IM rather than email based system. The current focus is migrating all of the old data into the system in a way that makes sense.
