Custom Sound sending bug... by pollolibredegrasa on 09-25-2009 at 03:31 PM
OK, this is an obscure bug that requires precise conditions, but it's a bug nonetheless 
Bug:
Sound fails to send and generates a message stating "An error occurred while contacting the server, please try again later. If the problem persists, check your security settings."
Bug only occurs when:
- Sound name starts with #
- Sound name is 13 characters long
- Sound is sent in the conversation using /sound <full name>
Sending the sound with /sound <hash> or /sound <partial name> works, as does selecting the sound from the sounds panel, it only fails with /sound <fullname>.
I'm sure there must be an easy fix, e.g. checking for a matching sound name in library before assuming it's a hash or maybe disallowing sound names that match that criteria or something

Confirmed - Plus assumes the name is a sound hash before assuming it is a sound name. The order should be the other way round.
