Dmitry, I've noticed that nearly, if not all special characters are not reproducing properly on the forum. I mean, anything that deviates from the standard 26 letters, numbers and punctuation.

For instance this is an English Pound sign: £

Anything we can do?


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

I have to enable html code on our forums to make all special characters available, but I won't do it, sorry.

Pound sign: £

e, with an accent above: é

Dollar: $

It seems to be any character that I need to access using the 'alt' key. Though strangely, the dollar sign works. Oh well, I suppose it's no big deal really. Just that the other day a new member spelt out her name and it was illegible.

Don't lose any sleep over it!!!!

BTW, yours said BJ, thats - BEE, and JAY. Though oddly, yours are in a different font.

It all depends on character set you chose in browser. If I use UTF-8 I see a pound and a dollar

I use a Danish character set on a Danish keyboard. Though an English keyboard wouldn't have an e with an accent as part of it's main character set either.

What's UTF-8? I use a Mac. I can switch through character sets easily enough via the menu bar. But to have to do it to read something is a bit of a pain.

George suggests Japan...

I did that and it makes no difference. Sorry to be a pain, but is the security risk that high with enabling html code? There are one or two ways to make it safer.

Some people say I'm a character.


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
