With a new Baja Nomad server, Doug and I have made a discovery. One cannot post words with accent marks or Spanish letters (like the n with the
'tilde' or snake over it).
I was pasting something from one page to another here and because of the Spanish letters, no part of the text would appear here or in u2u.
I then tried typing directly, and again with just one Spanish letter or accent mark, nothing posts.
Let's hope that Baja Nomad will soon allow Spanish letters again!
EDIT: the degree symbol (little o after a number used for temperature or GPS waypoints) also will prevent a post from showing.

Aren't you burrouming too much?David K - 12-28-2014 at 09:42 AM
Here I had to remove the Spanish letters in a test to see if this code list would post.
ALT + 160 = (a with accent)
ALT + 130 = (e with accent)
ALT + 161 = (i with accent)
ALT + 162 = (o with accent)
ALT + 163 = (u with accent)
ALT + 164 = (n with tilde)
ALT + 173 = (upside down exclamation)
ALT + 168 = (upside down question)
The other new server issue most have seen and that is the converting any word containing the letters together that spell 'c u l o' converts to
burro... as in ridiburrous (redic u l o us). Seems the a-s-s words (pass, assign, passenger, etc.) has been fixed.Howard - 12-28-2014 at 09:52 AM
And all this time I thought the word sensor had something to do with George Carlin's 7 dirty words you can't say.bajabuddha - 12-28-2014 at 10:14 AM

I must agree with George on #7... what a lovely name it would make. UURiom - 12-28-2014 at 07:51 PM
It could be a known problem with the XMB forum software when it's run on a server with PHP 5.4 (this server now runs PHP/5.4.25, the old server may
have used an older version). (PHP is the programming language that runs it).
I'm surprised they're still shipping (or Doug is still using) a version of XMB which still has a noticeable bug like this that was known about more
than a year ago, when used with a version of PHP that was first released in 2012.David K - 12-29-2014 at 10:02 AM
Just found that the degree symbol also prevents posting.
ALT + 0186
I will assume that the u with two dots above also doesn't work.
ALT + 154
The only place I can think of that uses that is Ligui (south of Loreto)?

so why is it - no matter what the word, if it contains letters A-S-S in it the auto editor supplants with burro??!!StuckSucks - 12-29-2014 at 01:05 PM
Looks like html entities work OK: Cuidad ConstituciónStuckSucks - 12-29-2014 at 01:08 PM

I try to do the alt code..164...for a tilde over n, and it kicks me out of the posting window.StuckSucks - 12-29-2014 at 01:44 PM

?? The steps please... That list gives three codes for any letter... here is one for an e with accent:

(When I previewed this post, nothing changed?)
You left out the trailing semicolon big guy.

btw... as has been noted... this issue has to do with now using a more current version of PHP software on the server.
I moved the site in the past few days onto another, more up-to-date system (both hardware and software). So, both the site software update, and the
server switch both have some quirks to work out.
And while I'll eventually get to the HTML encoding issue as well, it's just not the top of the list yet.
Mañana, I'm sure.
