Over the past few days there have been several threads started that an error such as this one:​

Looking into the situation we have found that the issue is a very simple one:
Special Characters (such as a question mark, comma, exclamation point, etc) in the Title Line.

This is an issue because the html code for a new thread is derived from the Title Line of a new thread.
HTML Code does not allow for special characters and is therefore unable to create a url.
See below where I've circled the html code for the thread just posted by Vega. ​

We're working on a solution that will allow for special characters int he title, but for the moment be sure to double-check your Title for Special characters before posting.​
 
On your end I don't believe it will let you, as you won't be able to open the thread to edit it.

I changed the Title for all of your threads and they're now up.
If anyone else has a problem just shoot me a PM and I'll fix it.

I keep having this problem also and the forum theme also suddenly changed. I changed to every view available (only 3 Forum default, Gametime Blue, and mobile). Forum default and Gametime blue look to be the same now and mobile totally broke my access to Autopia.org luckily I left another old tab open so I could change the settings back.

Is there any way to get the old theme back?

New theme (not a fan):

This thread isn't working also: http://www.autopia.org/forums/auto-detailing-101-a/41310-garry-deans-ultimate-detail-juice-products.html?highlight=Infinite+Use+Detail+Juice

Thanks for fixing the last one.

Vega fixed this issue (can now select either theme again), thanks.

P.S. To change your theme click on "Settings" located in top menu bar -> click on "General Settings" in left menu bar -> scroll down to "Miscellaneous Options" in the main body of the page -> change "Forum Skin" to; Autopia-Fluid, Game-Time Blue - Fluid, Autopiaorg, or Default Mobile Style... (I like "Autopia-Fluid" the most)
 
Still wondering if the fix will be ready soon? Seems like half the older threads i want to read have punctuation in the title :o
 
Guz, I don't know how to fix it. I've looked at it and even searched it. Even I f I follow your link I'm sure I'm getting the same error message that you see. I can see it but I can't alter the title without opening it.

There has to be a fix for this problem.
