The filename did not contain valid characters

I've just updated your article using my account and your account and both times was successful. Are you adding any non-ASCII characters to the title?

Chris, I'm having the same problem & I don't have any non-ASCII characters: A DatePicker based Event Calendar with MVC3 and AJAX. I tried clearing the title box and typed "ZZZZZ", it still happened. It submitted the article OK through the wizard a couple of hours before, I was just making a few ammendments before publishing. The error is happening both when go to "My Articles" --> "Edit this article", and when I open the article itself and click "Update Your Article" [Edit] I forgot to say, the page was posting back, so it wasn't client side validation. Dunno if this helps...

The article now has just disappeared. It couldn't be so bad that it merits deletion before being published, surely? I thought this merited its own post.

Just to confirm: you click to edit the article, and whether you make changes or not, when you hit submit it throws an error? I just edited it and it went through without a single problem for me. This is doing my head in. BTW, it's marked as deleted. Do you want me to undelete it?

Here is what I tried:
- I only added a small bit of text to the article body (a paragraph, and an ol with one li in it) - I got the error
- I only changed the title to "ZZZZZ" without changing anything else. - I got the error
I went in a third time to try just re-submitting with no change, but the article was deleted (not sure how) but given 1&2 it looks likely that no change would give the error. Not the same thing as testing it though :)

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]I found the issue with your article (and 27 other articles) that would have caused this error. It all goes back to a change we made a couple of months ago while we transitioned over to a new file system and there was a very brief gap in which a few articles became a little confused.

Cool. Shall we try again?

Thanks for undeleting the article, I drafted in Word but it took a good while to transfer to HTML!
