So, as many of you are aware, when you post some symbols the text disappears upon posting.

I think this is due to some "FORBIDS NON ENGLISH SYMBOLS" mod that has been installed.

IF SO; Please remove it, I have learned to use good punctuation, and I want to use it and learn even more, but due to the forums I am forced to go back some steps rather then to progress.

Posts normally dissapear after the usage of:
accent
   - acute
   - grave

They make the rest of the post, after one of the different accents, dissapear. Both with and without using in combination of a letter.

Because I can't use the accents, I will post a picture of it. This is an accent acute placed on an "A":



I don't know which part of the script makes these signs dissapear. Probably it is what Curse posted.




Some people on different support forums say to use UTF-8 encoding instead of what is used now.

Quote
Themes/default/languages/index.english.php

And replace this:
$txt['lang_character_set'] = 'ISO-8859-1';

With this:
$txt['lang_character_set'] = 'UTF-8';
I don't know if it is working, but I think it is worth trying.

Why you suggest us to buy vBulletin (250$) for having possibility to post symbols?

You found paradise in Argonath. You had a good game, you made good friends. The admins protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Aragorn, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect.

Invision Power Board is better. :roll:

There are several options to fix this.. no need to purchase a new forum. Although IP.Board would be nice lol, I think I got a legit license somewhere.
Anyway, maybe try what Mikro was saying, might fix the problem.

Ok I will ask easier then for you all...
Why should we change the forum engine for some shitty symbol?

I am not talking about that SMF is the best for us to handle forums...

The symbols are an issue with the encoding rather than the SMF forum, as on several other places the accents work without trouble. We noticed the problem after upgrade to SMF 2.0RC1, at which time we also changed the encoding to UTF-8. Will check if there is a solution through our SMF Chartered member. 'checks'

I was joking, relax. :razz:
Alright, I was looking on the SMF support site for a couple of minutes and I found several topics with the same problem.. Try using UTF-8 encoding since it might fix the problem..

SMF2.0RC1? Maybe you should consider upgrading, - alot of bugs have been fixed in RS2 & RS3..

RS3 is almost perfect.
I'm using it straight away, and I've only seen two bugs.
(Which were actually not caused by SMF but by myself :lol:)

RS3 is okay, But people are used to this.

vBulliten is far to expensive, And for Symbols? Its not worth it.

Bullshit, the changes between this version and RS3 is in the scripts and admin center.
Not in the use for regular members.

Simpler solution would be to set SMF to accept and output UTF-8 (Unicode) encoded text, instead of the stupid ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) encoding rarely anybody uses these days, exactly because of the problems with special characters, as Latin 1 encoding doesn't have support for those.

Thats my brotha. Giving out information i don't even understand  :lol: . As an American having a comma or some other English symbol is not very important in my opinion. We all were taught how to make second grade sentences using loads of periods and making them short :). Anyway it does not matter to me personally.

LOL  :lol: . Well, I had these problems in web applications and standalone scripts I worked with, usually because programmers used the Latin 1 or Latin 2 encoding, or even Microsoft's proprietary encoding like Windows-1250, in which case you need to do some replacing, parsing, cutting and gluing it back together, instead of having everything in Unicode.
