Thanks Kperv, I thought it might be my end.

For Drew's possible benefit: Usually when I run into server problems here they last for a period of time. This is sporadic. I think you need to check the valve stems or the doohickeys or possibly the thing that connects to the other thing. If you need more help from me feel free to ask.

What's a 500? Is that somewhere between the valve stem and the doohickey? Or is that what occurs when the megabyte gets locked with the RAM?

Some glitches? It's practically every damn page load. He'll be lucky if the error log doesn't eat up all the free disk space.


At any rate, since this isn't a poll, I'm moving it.

Thanks ultra, shorthand code I presume.

Hardware, but this thread was so much happier in the polls forum. Don't you care about thread happiness?

And, I have to say that the ass in my Avatar is nicer than the ass in your avatar. I know this because the ass in my avatar belongs to Raquel. But, Damn It!, you do have a nice new Avatar!

croy, welcome to tech talk, a place where I feel completely ignorant, but i think I have them fooled with the valve stem diagnosis.

Oh good, I thought I drank too much. But it's really just a server issue.

Phew!

Looks like it.

BTW, Drew, lately I've been having problems with Unicode characters like the trademark symbol and those curly quotes Walter Burns sometimes uses in his quote polls.

They look fine in the preview window, but in the thread they turn into their numerical representation.

An example: “”

Any idea why this happens?

Was your server wearing a micro-short skirt and bending over a lot to give you lots of opportunities to check out her rack?

I've seen this too, but only (I think) when they are in quotations (maybe I'm wrong..)

BTW I believe that Walter's "curly quotes" are the way they are because he copy/pastes from Word, and Word usually writes ”” or “” instead of "".

I expect so.
IIRC, they're a Microsoft abomination called smart-quotes, that caused a lot of fuss some time ago, when sites created with MS tools began using them, even though they weren't standardised.
(I could be remembering wrong though. I would have expected MS to call them "Intelliquotes")

I also see it on other characters. These three all look fine in the preview window:
Circle R: ®
Circle C: ©
TM: ™


Edited to add: And apparently only the TM symbol causes trouble.

I'm getting error messages again. I also posted a reply which didn't get flagged and bumped to the top of the page.

Something's sucking CPU cycles... (cue the scary music)

The characters will display in the preview window because the content is being POSTed through an HTML form to the popup window. When you commit a post to the database it's written in a single byte storage format. Many special characters are two-byte Unicode format. The encoding is lost when written to the database.

Aha. I didn't know the mechanisms were different between the two buttons.

As Walter can do it, I'm just gonna try and see if FireFox can get it right:

Curly wurly quote 1: “
Curly quote 2: ”
TM: ™


Edited to add: Hmm. It would seem so.
It's just Konqueror that can't do it properly for some reason. Bugger x 10.

Thanks for the info, Drew.


BTW, Hurrab, what browser are you using, since it didn't look right for you either?

I mostly use Internet Explorer. Sometimes I use Firefox as well but usually not when posting at ADT (I don't know why, it's just like that).
