I can see on your forum these three news properly formatted:

can it just me, can I have a bad or hosting it because of the modules?
The problem is that sometimes instead of letters displayed question marks

before a request can be done SET NAMES utf8?

[emanuele]

That's strange.
I'm not good with charsets, so I don't know exactly what is going on...

So apparently when you post your news sometimes this is converted to question marks or before being saved or while being retrieved (before... is it parse_bbc that replace the smiley codes?) and then rendered as smiley when visualized...

Next time it happens, could you please check via phpmyadmin if the value saved in the database is correct or is just a series of question marks? (You have to check in the table smf_settings and search for "news" in the variable field)

2: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Compilation failed: invalid UTF-8 string at offset 0

File: /.../Sources/Load.php

[emanuele]

It seems you are using mods, could you please attach here your Load.php?

[inter]

 

[emanuele]

Okay, so something is failing during censoring.

Do you have any word listed in the censor?
If so would you mind put them into a text file (both the censored word and the replacement in a format like: "censored text => replacement") and attach it here?
Thanks!

[inter]

there badwords Russian words 

[inter]

yesterday experimenting with sqlite database and found that double-byte characters are Russian forum trims along the wrong

[emanuele]

Are you using sqlite on your on-line forum?

[inter]

no

I have mysql

[inter]

sqlite problem solved:

Subs.php

find:

Code Select Expand

    return $smcFunc['substr']($subject, 0, $len) . '...';

replace:

Code Select Expand

    return mb_substr($subject, 0, $len, 'utf-8') . '...';

[Arantor]

The whole point is that $smcFunc['substr'] is supposed to be a pointer to mb_substr() in the event that UTF-8 is used. Look at Load.php where it's actually defined.
