With Russian language. When you log with your username and password system say to you "Hello, UserName!" If you Publicly Displayed Name in Russian it shows to you unproper encoding. If you post a message it shows correct encoding on the board, but your system always gives annoying error.

I don't like to say to customers "Oh, it's Ok, just small bug."

Yes I have the same error
But my language is Arabic
I think this is because the public name is stored in a cookies and it is encoded to the board using the function unescape which only work for the Latin character set
Any way it should not accept your public name that has a charcter not in the Latin character set.
The only way I could think of to solve this problem in my board is to remove the public name welcome message and replace it by welcome!!
And to do this I have change the fooling code in public_common.pl
[CODE] $show_logout = qq~



~ unless ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne "YES");

$show_logout_noreg = qq~



~ unless ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne "YES");[/CODE]To
[CODE] $show_logout = qq~



~ unless ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne "YES");

$show_logout_noreg = qq~



~ unless ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne "YES");[/CODE]

As was stated by wwb95, this is an issue with the way we store the username within the UBB cookies. Unfortunately, this is not something we can easily resolve at this time...
