Re: I lost the \'é\' in my name!

You just have to replace the "é" with "& eacute" whenever you update your profile.
I have to do a similar thing with my sig in order to maintain the angle-brackets around all my links. If I don't replace them all with "& lt" or "& gt" then they are treated as bad HTML tags.

Thaks Suicide Junkié
I hadn't try the html code, because I though the error message suggested it wouldn't work, and and I thought E.Albright said he had tried.

Re: I lost the \'é\' in my name!
That is a pretty generic error message
And when you have to use the extended Version of a character, it can really push the length limit on the names.
It seems like the profile only rejects the high-bit Version of the é, and not the HTML Version.

Alright, who stole my original P.D. name while I had it changed?!?
Arghh. I think it might be me. Some of my old Posts still show as my original name. This could be bad.
I hope I don't have to bug Richard about this

Re: I lost the \'é\' in my name!
So like uhh, I got a Q... You can't use Alt whatevernumberstomakefancyletters, such as "§" on the display name? If that's the case that stinks as I was gonna find all the letters to my name "Ragnarok" and put them on there. But oh well, I'll live I suppose, I'll see if I can find the HTML code as well. So it might just work after all. Thanks

Re: I lost the \'é\' in my name!
I want my display name to be "Suicide Junkie"
That's what it was before this whole mess.
Since the forum isn't letting me change it back to that, "Suicide Junkie." is the closest I can get (for now).
