C:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\www\#prefs.txt wasn’t found

I really hate misleading error messages.

Radio just started complaining, when I tried to make the last post: [Macro error: The file "C:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\www\#prefs.txt" wasn't found.]

Of course C:\Program Files\Radio UserLand\www\#prefs.txt is actually there. A bit of googling reveals that lots of people have gotten this message, and the common solutions seem to be “reinstall radio”, “stand on your head, pull some hair out, go have breakfast, and come back”. A classic transient bug!

In other cases it seems to be that Radio’s braindead parser gets confused if you have too many quotation marks in a post. In my case changing double quotes to single quotes did the trick. Of course changing them back to double quotes after it had worked also worked. *shrug*.

Radio Userland is great when it works, but when it doesn’t it gets really annoying really fast.
