thnx guys.. I am not sure at this point how to go about it.. restricting names is somewhat out of the question as everything is really in Arabic. As for the letters and mixing up with \ or $ I don't see how as they totaly seprate sets and I have not seen anything of the sort. (not that I am an expert in that) but I can say one thing about that... sometime (I mean rarely) someone would post and all looks fine till he/she saves it.. and the title becomes greeck !!! garbage, but very rare that happens
and I think that happens sometimes if key compnation is used in the first letter of the title like shift key and a letter
cuz in Arabic, Shift makes a differnt letter (somethin on top of the letter) as supposed to english upper or lower case of the same letter
I don't know.. you scaring me with this now

I hope vB3 can handle it better
