Sending PMs to members with non-standard characters in name

**Zxian** · November 15, 2005

Like the title says, I'm having problems with this. When I try to send the message, I get an error:

There is no such member - please check the name entered and try again.
This personal message has not been sent

I don't think this is a problem with IPB 2.1.3 per se, so I made a separate thread.

You mean people with for instance the TM in their names?

I never tried it to be honest...

Edit: ah, yes, I didn't see the topic description...

Edit2: did you try to use html codes instead? (like &...; or something?)

Non-standard characters for sitename, username, password, etc. works fine for me on Opera 8.50.

Nope... I still can't send a PM to Ðrзω™.

Sure you haven't disabled Unicode support, in windows?

And just to be sure, try the same as above, using Opera 8.50 from linux as well.

I'm on a Windows 2000 workstation with fairly strict GPOs set.... I don't have much power here.

I'll have to try it on my laptop (XP Pro) and then from Linux in VMware. I'll let you know how it goes.
