No Tabs allowed in your text

<< ServerSupportGuys - server down for 12 hours despite 5 min response SLA | First "Computer Bug" ever found >>

Just today I wanted to checkout the drupal freelancer portal drupalancers and wanted to post a job there

I got these two WEIRD errors

I just tried to post a project and got these two

>The ; character is not allowed.

Well, I have no single ; in my text

>You cannot have a tab space in your text.

Are they crazy?

They could EASILY do a str_replace in the result text and put whatever character in there they would feel ok … and don't bother be with that please

Instead their programmer even created TWO wonderful error messages for me to avoid these characters…

this is NOT a site built on Drupal and I think I definately won't do business there if the primary submit function doesn't even allow

a) a copy/paste from a text file

b) an upload of specification draft (a word file)
