Foreign Characters preventing a quick reply to load

[DJ2492]

Hey guys remember me?
Well I am back with some new problems....

This problem has been on my forums since it first started but now it is really starting to get on my NERVES!

Well the problem is with my forum -> SoccerForums.com

Its a soccer website and a lot of soccer is played in Europe. What I am getting at is that when I go and find an article online or other members when they try to post it via quick reply it freezes and does not work until you post it via full reply...

This only happens when the article has like foreign characters.

Like the other day I was trying to put this into the quick reply.

Sim?o strike leaves Atl?tico at summit

A last-gasp Sim?o free-kick gave Club Atl?tico de Madrid first place in UEFA Cup Group B at the expense of Panathinaikos FC although both teams were already through to the Round of 32.

Barcelona, who have agreed a four-year deal with the 29-year-old, are thought to be paying about ?16m for the player.

Manchester City remain with their 50% home win record.

Bremen?s Allofs set to receive new deal

The stuff in bold prevents it from showing up and it just freezes and only shows up when you do full reply. EVEN THE FREAKING PERCENT SIGN PREVENTS IT FROM WORKING!
You may think that we are lazy to post via full reply but we all like posting from quick reply and it gets many members and me frusturated... On other forums it works but not on mines

Is there a hack or some way to get all the foreign characters to work?

Thanks

Here is a screen shot
The circle indicates that the thing is loading and that it has been and still is as I type this...


See it has been like that for some good 5 minutes. I'm not lazy just sometimes when i post Portuguese Articles they have lots of characters like that and it doesnt load. So I have to hit full reply and it only works like that..
Any suggestions?
Sorry for my bad english.

If this is only a issue in the quick reply and the char issue doesnt happen when you post a "full reply", then this dont seem to be a issue with the mysql server, i would put a support ticket in at vbulletin.com.

Alright I will do that but first I want some more opinions to see if I can get some help.

do you have mod_security installed on your apache?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Most likely memory issues or a bad configured script like mod_security or Suhosin/Hardened PHP.

Check your webserver errorlog for more information.
