No Accent Marks, degree symbols, or Spanish Letters (for the moment). UPDATE: ¡FIXED!
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.

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.

And all this time I thought the word sensor had something to do with George Carlin's 7 dirty words you can't say.

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).
See the discussion at http://forums.xmbforum2.com/viewthread.php?tid=776874 (although it doesn't look there was a proper fix, just various partial work-arounds).
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.

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)?

Example: Assignment
Example: Rediculous (Redic u l o us)

The format for this forum is clunky and getting very long in the tooth compared with other forums I use.

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.

Make sure you use the # sign too.

Just getting you the information you're inquiring about. Will work on the bigger issue with this when time permits. Thank you for your
understanding.
