vbulletin doesnt like the symbol ?, help
 

Does anyone know why vbulletin wont post the symbol £ "uk currency"?

its really bothering me. just stops wherever that is in the post, you can preview the symbol but saving or posting it doesnt work

any advice?

well, i guess this vbulletin does but not mine??????

Could be a number of issues.

First try disabling all plugins/products via the config.php file edit and test on a default style.

If it works, then there is a conflict with a plugin or product. If it doesn't there is something wrong some where else.

something tells me it is going to be the thanks plugin,...
ill try that.. thanks for the quick help

so far disabling the products and plugins hasnt solved it... i guess Ill keep searching. Any other ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

i get this too but only in MGC Chatbox Evo itsdoing my head in :(

my brain also does not feel good.... Why god Why!


...still working on it, def. not any plugin or product, or my header.

There is another section on vbulletin.com at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270014

no one else there has any solutions.

any advice would be most greatly appreciated.

I will check back after my next set of tests

Most likely, the database charset/collation that is set does not support that symbol properly.

any idea how I would tackle that..... you are saying that it is a server side modification that needs to be made and not changes within vbulletin?

Yes.

resolved by setting the 'HTML Character Set' to utf-8
