Hi,

A user subscribed to my forum with name "Predrag Simovi#263;".

He is quite upset that his name doesn't display like he intended it to. Can anything be done about it, or should he just accept it?

Best regards.

Frank

What was the original name?

I suspect he put a char in some non-ascii encoding which is not compatible with that of the forum and encoding didn't work...

He wants it to display as Predrag Simović

ć == & # 263 ; according to http://www.thesauruslex.com/typo/eng/enghtml.htm

Best Regards.

This is something on my todo, but requires a large number of changes and consequently testing...
