Posted: Sun Mar 15, 2009 4:04 pm Post subject: Can't use non-Roman characters in Location
I just (a week late ) went in today to "Your Info" to change the time zone to reflect DST, and after I did so, I noticed the forum had converted my "Location" field to a bunch of entities. Every time I re-entered it, the forum again reconverted it to entities.
I guess this broke with the last trinity upgrade, since I've never had this problem before when changing the time zone. It's not a huge deal, but it is sad

OK, thanks for noticing that. I haven't really altered my own timezone preferences and such in a while, so I'm not surprised something may be broken in there.

You also didn't have a non-Roman location set
I assume any change to the settings on that page will trigger the corruption; it just happens that the only thing I ever change there is the timezone.
