Apparently e^n contains invalid characters. I don't know why so many sites and companies think ^ is an invalid character but it's fine!

Fascists :D

anyone else getting this?

Oh, and at work the logging out thing isn't happening. Must be a settings issue at home.

suffering through some work! (and posting of course!)

And I think it's the marble-like image that is causing my slow load times. I'll change to the other forum scheme and see if that helps.

EDIT: nope that didn't help. I'm wondering if it's the advert at the bottom of the pages... cuz when I click "Reply" or "Edit" I have no issue loading, and there is only one ad on the page.

Check it out guys. Thanks!

The ^ is usually reserved for control characters. The beginning of the character set has 26 control characters.

0 is "null"
1 to 26 are "Control-A" to "Control-Z" usually shown as ^A - ^Z
27 is the "Escape" character which tells a printer or console that a cammand is following.
28, 29, 30, 31 are directional controls (up, down, left, and right)
32 is the first printable character, a space " ".

In the case of the BBCode, [ is a control character indicating an upcoming tag, and on some systems if I typed [truth], the system would say "can't recognise this tag" and ignore it, leaving a blank spot on the screen.

On such systems one would then type ^[truth] to tell the system that the [ is NOT a control character.

Does that help?

So guys, should we bring back the icons for the forums, the little pictures like we had for the Lounge and such?
Please no!

I do think all the table gridlines are a bit much, but I will beg all administrators, please don't fill up the navigations pages with pictures as was being done on LCF2. Reading a list is far easier when it's a list. If you must put in pictures, give them their own column so that they are to the left of the list items, not above or below them.

Right now, the way my sinuses are, I'm praying for "The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief", by Zarquon!

I note that there is a left hand column on the navigation pages which carries images of folders--if you can squeeze pictures INTO those boxes to replace the folders with similar sized images, I promise not to complain about them.

This is not actually entirely true, although it does have merit.

Yes, ^ is typically used to denote non printable characters, but it is not reserved in any manner. I cannot find any reference to ^[ code] being used as an escape for bb code on this site, but in general (UNIX) use the escape character would be a backslash, so \[ code\] or \[ code]. (Spaces added to not break bbcode!)

I appreciate you trying to explain it but the most likely reason for it not being accepted is that they have simply allowed a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and basic spacers like _ and -. Unfortunately people don't consider those of us with esoteric names :)

Thanks for your reply anyway.
