I figured I'd make a topic wherein people can post any problems they're having with the site, such as the recent issue with special characters. From now on, just post that stuff here so nate has just one thread to check for those kinds of things.

I know the first one isn't right (my sig), and I'm not sure on the second. Of course, given these things, this post will look perfectly right to everyone else. I wish I knew how to take screenshots in linux >_<

edit: gahahahahahaha fuck you phpbb. copy-pasted from usb's post...and it ruins the damn thing.

I'm not sure I understand, but...ummm...hmm. Is this what you wanted, or do I need to do something specific?

we're now running pure iso latin-1 server default as well as implicit header. so you may need to redo sigs etc.

if you're using GNOME, just install gnome-screenshot and hit printscreen.

on debian derivatives,

# aptitude install gnome-utilities

as root.

no idea about kde.

i think it's actually escaping that's broken. nothing to do with the encoding -- it's just escaping escape sequences.

well if posting in HTML is disabled, HTML entities shouldn't work, so I wouldn't even say they were broken.

really there ought to be a bbcode tag for unicode characters, but I guess that rather obvious idea didn't occur to phpbb's developers.

ohh good point about disabling html. i remember now that that came about when they screwed up something ... i don't even remember where it was in the source now, but it broke complex (e.g. quote=) bbcode processing when html was enabled. then they left it like that for months before an official update was released to fix it. very microsofty, you know, "the fix is to disable html!"

アゾヤン

unfortunately it looks like escape sequences are broken even if disable html is turned off. guess it's something for you to check out if you're bored, but i wouldn't put it ahead of any of the sda stuff. i mean we are going to totally leave this codebase this summer, so who cares atm imho.

it is if you escape them to unicode (looks like the weird crap in my above post). however phpbb is failing to display it properly.

Metroid Exp: Exploration - Great, Skills - Decent

Ok, I posted in the thread about the new 25 minute Super Metroid run that was posted. I went back and edited my post with some more words and some emotes, and the board made a second post out of it, making it look like I double posted.

That just happens sometimes: phpBB is retarded. Just delete the second post and try editing again or PM a mod to delete (be sure to include a link to your post) your first, unedited post-- I'd be happy to do it.

The date format string is one byte too short to be actually useful:

'D M j H:i:s T ' -> 'D M j H:i:s T Y'

Can you please fix it? According to my (fortunately limited) knowledge of phpBB, 'user_dateformat' is defined as a 'varchar(14)'; this can easily be modified to 'varchar(15)', which would solve the above problem :)

BTW, the input field on the 'Profile' page isn't limited to the size of the variable, luring you into a false sense of security :^) Can you please fix this as well?

Thanks :)
