ShoutBox, speaking of...

[Ken.]

In another Topic, Shoutbox Guest Issues, we are working through an issue with the shoutbox and I discovered a new issue but didn't want to clutter up that topic, so started this new thread.

SMF 2.0.9
TP 1.108

If a smiles is added to a post in the shoutbox and then the shout is edited...
The following letter/symbol will appear in the text screen; "Â"
If the 'Save' button is then selected in the shoutbox edit page the letter/symbol will then appear in the shoutbox display block as seen in this screen shot.

... this behavior is not present in shouts with no smiles included.

Seems if you a apace before the smiley it does this.  If you just type some text and add a smiley without a space it doesn't.  It's doing it on mine too. TP 1.108

I can't duplicate it atm..but I think this is character set related, because that sign is what appear when using non-western letters and there's a clash between charachter-sets used in the database.A letter like "Ø" would appear like that.

You are right Mick, good catch.

Yep, it seems to have fixed this.

Nice work.

This also happens with "+" signs. Nothing appears in the actual shoutbox, but you see a "Â" sign in the shoutbox admin page.

bloc's file posted above seems to have sorted this.

No. It still does not show up. I even tested it on the shoutbox here and as you can see it does not show the + sign.

OK, sorry I misread your post.  I wasn't seeing the "Â" sign in my edit page.  But you're correct the + doesn't show in shout.  I'm sure it did while I was testing, but it's gone now. Strange.

Thanks for the heads up.
