Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '=' (1267): SELECT message_id FROM ph_messages WHERE forum_id = 2 AND author ='Bayberry' AND subject ='Reflections on the First Five Months of Mystery Shopping' AND body ='Hi Shoppers!\r\n\r\nI thought this might answer some questions for new shoppers. Basically, the whole getting started process is a crap shoot. Sign up, hold your breath, and jump in.\r\n\r\nI am a part time shopper, and I am MSPA silver certified. My first mystery shop was 2/18/14. I am now signed up with 181 companies. Most of those companies do not have anything in my area or anything I am willing to do. I have done (or currently have scheduled) 68 shops with 28 different mystery shopping companies. I have made over $1,400 in fees and have received $4,000 in reimbursements. $2,288 of the reimbursement is from hotels, so not particularly meaningful. After five months, my heart has finally stopped pounding every time I do a shop, but I still forget to note the time when the shop is over. \r\n\r\nCompanies I have shopped for (number of shops): A Closer Look (8), About Face (3), Ann Michaels (1), aTH (1), B Business (1), Bare (3), Coyle (5), Customer Impact (2), Customer Service Experts (1), Dataquest (1), Goodwin (2), ICCDS (1), Informa (2), Intellishop(3), Int’l Service Check (1), Market Force (3), MercSystems (3), Mintel (3), NSite (1), Person to Person (5), Reality Based (1), Reality Check (1), Regal (5), Satisfaction Services (5), Service Performance Group (1), Service Sleuth (2), Strategic Reflections (2)\r\n\r\nMy first five shops (way before I found the Forum) were with:\r\nAbout Face – Cosmetics\r\nIntellishop – Assisted Living\r\nMarket Force – Fast Casual\r\nA Closer Look – Upscale Dining\r\nReality Based – Valet Parking\r\nTypes of Shops: Banking (11), Fine Dining (10), Parking (8), Integrity Bar or Buffet (7), Hotel (6)\r\n\r\nOther benefits from shopping:\r\n -learned about a local bank paying 1% on checking accounts\r\n-saved $177 on a hotel room I had already booked for a family reunion by using the free hotel night I got from signing up for Chase Marriott Rewards credit card \r\n- $100 from Bank of America for signing up for their cash rewards credit card \r\n- Found the Forum \r\nBiggest tip I got from the Forum: buy a digital voice recorder' AND datestamp > 1406476297

I have gotten that message at random times. Sometimes after just refreshing the page. More often it comes up when I am trying to copy/paste something.

I get that page sometimes.

I wait bit and load it again. Or..maybe REFRESH the page.

Thanks! It's the first time I have tried to do this. I was copying and pasting from Word. Will that never work?

It depends. Sometimes it isn't an issue for me.

I tried it from my iPad, and it worked. Thanks again.

Glad you were successful, Bayberry! I doubt there's a computer user alive who hasn't experienced the frustration of a non cooperative machine, app, etc!
