#178932 - 02/21/07 02:17 AM [FIXED for 7.2] Error PM'ing a user with "special characters" in their name.
Gizmo Registered: 06/04/06 Posts: 12002 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	I have a user on my forums named "§intå×" (which is my co-admin, which can be an issue); as of installing 7.1 I am unable to PM them. With 7.0.2 I could message them without issue. I'm unsure if this is just PM's at this time, as I JUST noticed it... _________________________ UGN Security, Elite Web Gamers & VNC Web Design Owner Longtime UBB Supporter, UBB7 Beta Tester & Resident Post-A-Holic

Rick Registered: 06/04/06 Posts: 7898 Loc: Aberdeen, WA	The javascript is probably barfing on the special characters. It doesn't like them very much and always extra hoops to go through that I'll need to figure out. _________________________ UBB.threads™ Developer My Personal Website · StogieSmokers.com

Rick Registered: 06/04/06 Posts: 7898 Loc: Aberdeen, WA	It was broken in 7.0.2. Remember the bug reports concerning sending private messages? $;\)$ Those were because a couple of the javascript functions weren't being called. Now that they are being called properly, the special characters are causing an issue. Not sure on the fix just yet. _________________________ UBB.threads™ Developer My Personal Website · StogieSmokers.com
