I previously reported in the CoN Discord chat that it's not possible to type an e with an acute accent (e.g. the fourth letter when spelling "Pokemon" properly) into my forum signature. Previously, it'd just end up being parsed as some mojibake, but as of a few months ago or earlier, trying to save my signature with it would just produce an error with a blank error message.
Well, I recently tried including this character in a post, and I got that same blank error message. It doesn't work in signatures, posts, or (as I've now discovered) post titles. This error seems to happen for both the uppercase version (Unicode U+00C9) and the lowercase version (Unicode U+00E9). I suspect this problem might be the case for other characters, as I've tested a with an acute accent as well as c with a cedilla; both also produce the same blank error message. So I'm wondering if it's a whole block of characters with diacritics that just don't work. Edit: oh my gosh, this is actually wilder than I thought. Somehow, despite giving me an error, the forum still somehow "accepted" the thread creation process, and now I have three blank threads that are missing OPs, and I don't even know how (e.g. was it a funny character in this place but not that place?) they were created. Edit: hahahahahaha it can get wilder. i can reply to OP-less threads and now my reply looks like an OP lmao it doesn't let me edit the thread title so it's not "really" an OP but it also doesn't count as a reply????? thread still says zero replies lol, this s### is wilder than i thought This post has been edited by Glenn Magus Harvey on 16th September 2024 13:19 -------------------- Check the "What games are you playing at the moment?" thread for updates on what I've been playing.

I prómise I haven't been åvoiding this thread. This bug was çaused by the upgrades that have been going on all šummer, and they also impačted the main site content as well, which meant I had to ŵait until everything was complete before figuring out the right course of actioñ and actually being able to fix it in a way that wouldn't get blown away during system-wide changes.
It looks to me like things are in good shape at this point and I think you can probably even use system emojis easily now if your device lets you. 🤞 -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

I didn't know what those markings were called until now. |
