Post subject: [bug] Encoding Errors In Language String
This is my welcome msg that is sent to new users via a PM.

Quote:
Hello!

Welcome to Blair County Tea Party.

We hope you enjoy your time at this site!

Feel free to join in and share with others or start your own discussion!

~Enjoy!
» Blair County Tea Party « Staff


This is the code line 40 & 41 of the: language » language_english » language_main_settings.php:

Code: [Hide] [Select]
$lang['register_pm'] = "Hello!\n\nWelcome to %s.\n\nWe hope you enjoy your time at this site!\n\nFeel free to join in and share with others or start your own discussion!\n\n~Enjoy!\n » [b]%s[/b] « Staff";


I need to clean up, "~Enjoy!
» Blair County Tea Party « Staff" so that it is displayed like this?

Thanks,

Dave

Not sure if that will output what you want, but it's worth a try.

Also make sure to have a backup of this file just in case.

The welcome message isn't parametrable by ACP O_o ?

No. The welcome PM message is configurable via lang_main_settings.php.

I had to take the ~ out of the code above.

It now looks like it should.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

Could you or a staff member rename the title to [bug] Encoding Errors in Language String. So that MG doesn't miss it?

Because it appears the interpreter is unable to handle those &codes; that are used in the string. As I get the same thing on localhost.

Done.

Thanks Dave,

But I didn't mean change it to:

Re: [FIXED] Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53a - Editing Welcome Message [bug] Encoding Errors In Language String

I meant change the whole title to just:

[bug] Encoding Errors in Language String.

Else MG will probably only see [FIXED] and the thing will never be addressed.

Picky Picky Picky (joking)

As requested, the Subject has been changed. Apparently, I am not authorized to change the Title to BUG.

thanks,

I only suggested it because MG only reads about three fifths of five eighths of the posts and ignores the rest!

And if you ever come across garbage like that in future, DON'T by any means be reluctant to post it as a [bug] or [BUG] (if it's a real serious one!) because we don't all use or test everything "All Icy Phoenix"

I read every single post even if I don't answer all...

Thanks for reporting I will find a way to fix this.
