Re: I lost the \'é\' in my name!
Ok, bonjour mon ami E.Albright (something to do with Madeleine ?  )
I tried changing my sig to put an é (this one is on my keyboard  ), nothing to do, with or without html ...
The good path is the Last sentence of the message "admin may have restricted high bit characters".
I think it was not reset properly when the board crashed Last week.

Are you talking to me? If so I know nothing about the UBB code, and don't have access to it if I did. I am not an employee of Shrapnel, merely a fan that Richard asked to help moderate the SEIV forum. (But even that appears to have been taken away in the recent upgrade. Not that I mind.  )
Probably need to ask Richard about the non-english character support.

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.

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
