General rule of thumb, regardless of OS, if a character set has multiple options, always choose the ISO version. It's cross platform

I checked all three direct in the database. I'm seeing nothing at all with the data like what you are describing. Not in the raw form in the database, nor in the archive. Which version of FF are you using? Do you have addons you're using? One of them may be at issue. One other thing to check is the default character set. Try switching to Western (ISO) from Western (Mac).

give me the exact chapters where you're seeing this, and I'll look at the db record to see what's up. Like Nerys, I'm seeing no oddball characters.

okay, will do!

Hey, just thought of something, if you have another topic about your story, I can merge 'em if you like. I haven't looked to see (as you'd mentioned something in the original post).

As the avatar gallery is a mess to begin with, it was probably uploaded, and you can't find it. However, if there are spaces in the file name, it won't add. What's the name of the file you added?

Try using some other means than this forum to contact to an underager that I deleted

When it does that, yes, you have to type it in from the beginning, even though it would be backwards. So the first part would be 48464

This one I haven't heard.

Modifications updated/re-added. Skin imports in progress. DO NOT use any of the old skins. I have removed them from the drop down, and reset all users to the default IPB skin for now.

Yep! It sure never hurts to check anyway though. I'd rather we were told, checked and found nothing; than not told and there was plagiarism of someone else's work not removed from the site.

After some research, one of the staff members found where this is the same user.

Hi there Hex, As this particular author has written under many pen names, I'm going to see what else I can find out. It's likely that the old profile is, in fact hers as well. However, if it's NOT her profile, you can be sure that we will take care of this accordingly.

deleted

As you can all see, the upgrade is complete. What I'm going to do now is update all the mods and whatnot. So, until they are, expect them to not work quite right, or at all.

We are back in the upgrade queue. If you prefer your profile picture to your avatar, you need to change your avatar. Profile pictures are the same as the avatars in this new version.

That's exactly why I suggested Open Office and Libre Office as alternatives. Works is end of life and not supported by Microsoft, hasn't been for some time. OO and LO are open source software, work very well, are FREE and import just about everything, as well as being able to be added to ANY RTE on any site, with no difficulties.

This is the one feature in the archive which is truly anonymous. I have no way of tracking who does what with it, other than to note when someone gets ratebombed. It does happen, unfortunately.

The author was underage at time of sign up and posting. Because of that, anything this author posted before 5/27/08 had to go, as he/she was not 18 before that date. The story you're referencing was deleted from this archive last part of June this year.

If you remember, for the LONGEST time, there was the issue of spambombers in the review boards. So, at that point it was always told to people to prevent that, you have to disallow anon reviews. When recaptcha was added to the archive, this became a non-issue, for the most part, because the spambombers HAVE to enter the text for each and every review left. As it changes with each review to be left, these spam scripts can't quite manage it, LOL. If I remember right, disallowing anon reviews is the default setting, so when you add the story, you have to check the box saying it will be allowed.

here ya go... space oddity (archive) and forum

Not really. However, some people feel they don't have to abide by anything like the TOS or guidelines, and etc. No big deal, and it will be handled.

An archive profile, is a profile in the main part of the site where the stories are. So what is your exact purpose for joining the forum? To post requests? To respond to things? That's what I'm after.
