 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Hey Glen great work; my error was adding a .pdf and error before up loading . The forum index shows I have posted to the forum but it never makes it. Don't think that helps any but just wanted to let you know. Strong like horse smart like tractor! |

Is search working right? I try to search in "Microcontroller and PC projects" but get results from the "solar". |

I've found that the search function searches through the whole site, not just the forum you start with or want to search through. ChopperP |

The forum has a problem with Unicode characters. You tried to post U+010B and this caused the error. https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?start=256&names=-&utf8=string-literal I am not sure if it's all non ASCII characters or just some that cause the problem.

Did something get changed to the forum code? All of a sudden now it seems like it's super narrow, like it's trying to format for use on a cell phone... Like everything is crunched into the middle 1/3 of my window... EDIT: Nevermind... Seemed to fix itself as soon as I posted this! Weird... Edited 2020-12-11 11:15 by mkopack73 |

Hi Glenn, I don't know if you have done anything to the forum lately or it's due to some other strange thing but 'remember me' has been working well for me lately. I have not have had to log on for several days now. Until now, almost every time I closed Chrome and open it again I had to log on to the forum again. Bill Edit: Sometimes I am still getting two emails for one posting. I did just now for my Scott Adams post. Edited 2020-12-20 07:29 by Turbo46 Keep safe. Live long and prosper. |

Glenn, Your emoji filter is a bit tough. it won't let you paste character 92 hex which is the fancy apostrophe. I expect that smart quotes are also stopped. This makes copy and paste from Word documents a bugger. This is the code that I use in MMEdit to clean out the common culprits for Qpos=1 to len(txt$) ch$=mid$(txt$,Qpos,1) 'print asc(ch$) if ch$=chr$(145) or ch$=chr$(146) then ch$=chr$(39) ' single quote if ch$=chr$(147) or ch$=chr$(148) then ch$=chr$(34) ' double quote if ch$=chr$(150) or ch$=chr$(151) then ch$=chr$(45) ' EN dash to hyphen if ch$=chr$(226) and Qpos < (len(txt$)-2) then if mid$(txt$,Qpos+1,1)=chr$(128) then Qpos=Qpos+2 ch$=mid$(txt$,Qpos,1) if ch$=chr$(152) or ch$=chr$(153) then ch$=chr$(39)' single quote if ch$=chr$(157) or ch$=chr$(156) then ch$=chr$(34)' double quote end if end if linetxt$=linetxt$+ch$ next Qpos Jim Edited 2021-01-03 07:18 by TassyJim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

The forum code update blocks characters above 127 decimal. Word documents are notorious for including a heap of hidden crap. Once I had a little paying job of copying a customers word documents to their web site as HTML pages, what a nightmare! I found it was better to paste into notepad to clean it up first. Sorry, but if I allow to much to get through the forum code will be easy to hack. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

No problem Glenn, I hate the crap that comes with Word too. More serious, I tried dot reply to a post and got stuck. This was with typing directly into the page and no emojis etc. This is the culprit: Jim Edited by Glenn Edited 2021-01-04 08:48 by Gizmo VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

I am now having trouble editing the last post. I was trying to add: I removed the quote section from the beginning of the reply, posted the message then edited it to replace the quote and it worked. I initially thought that removing the "Hi" from the quote is what worked but I was able to post the full quote here. So I have no idea what stopped me from posting the reply in the first place.

Hi Jim Please take your device and throw it in the bin. I retyped your quoted message, saved ok. But a copy paste of your text has hidden characters in it. I'll look closer at it later. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

The double space before "I am" and "Please" has a hidden character instead of two spaces. How are you doing the double space? The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

That double space contains a space ( ascii 32 ) and a hidden character ( ascii 194 ), so the forum code blocked it as it was above 127. Is that double space intentional, if so, how did you do it, and stop it. If its something that was automatically done by the device, please see my previous advise about the bin.

Glen, I did a quote of the suspect text. I did not do any editing to the quoted section. When I couldn't save the post, I removed parts of my post until I was able to save. I have checked the post that is the source of the quote and can not see anything other than the two space characters. I don't know where the ascii 194 came from but I don't think it was from me. I know that 194 160 is UTF8 for no-break-space. Others are having posting problems as well. Jim VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

Hi Jim Can you give a link to the original post? I'll see if they knew how they did the double space. I use this utility to display the hidden characters.... https://onlineasciitools.com/convert-ascii-to-decimal It shows that double space as 32 194. It should be 32 32. The forum will be blocking any character over 127. It's the only way I can keep the forum safe from hackers but still allow members to share code snippets. The other option is to warn the poster if their post has characters over 127, and replace all these characters with a question mark(?) so they can easily find and remove the problem.
