I am receiving the following error message when I try to send a message via active social:

A critical error has occurred.
Conversion from string "Fred" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

Fred is my user name and in this instance I was trying to send a test message to myself.  I also receive the same error message when I try to reply to an old message in my inbox.

I'm not sure what happened as the message feature used to work OK.  Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?

Thanks.

Fred

This usually happens when you have a JavaScript error on the page or have a conflict with jQuery.

Thanks Will. I checked the log and did not notice any references to to a js or jq error on the page.

This is what the message said:

That is the error you get when the auto-complete is not loading on the page, and you just type in a user name.

Like Will said, the reason the auto complete doesn't load is usually due to another error on the page.
