I have the forum's rss feed showing as html on my main page of my site. And, the other day someone made a post with "===========================" in it just to break up their post. They weren't trying to mess things up, they were just making a long post and wanted to break it up. </p> <p>ANYWAY, long story short, it caused my main page to look all messed up because the =========================== pushed outside of my main div. I already have everything in a wrapper and in a fixed width table, so I don't know how that was able to push everything out, but it did.</p> <p>So, if I add {overflow:hidden;} to my style sheet for my main page, do you think that will still solve my problem?</p> <p>I would be nice if there was a plugin that would allow you to block posts if someone uses the same character more than 10 times in a row for example.... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-to-block-multi-characters-in-a-row#post-17036 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:21:47 +0000 bobbyh 17036@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>wilcosky, I don't know a plugin that does this, but if you're worried about a string like <em>aaaaabbbbbbbbb</em> "breaking your theme", you can just apply a CSS overflow to the post class. This theme actually does so with this code: <code>.post {overflow:hidden;}</code> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-to-block-multi-characters-in-a-row#post-17033 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:18:22 +0000 wilcosky 17033@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm looking for a plug in that will block posts if the post contains multiple characters in a row.

I don't understand why I didn't get the problems after install then, since UTF8 was specified in config.php, while getting the problem after the upgrade forced me to change it to latin1 in config.php. Have I stumbled onto a bug, or is it something else?</p> <p>Edit: I'm no database ninja, so sorry if I'm not getting things. :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgraded-to-0831-special-characters-broken#post-13153 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:26:21 +0000 sambauers 13153@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>bbPress will create tables using the character set and collation specified in the config.php file. However it won't change the tables character set or collation if they are already created, as in the case with upgrades like yours.</p> <p>In fact, once installed, the collation value is not used at all, but the character set value is forced on every connection to the database with "SET NAMES 'foo'", where 'foo' is the character set (if it is specified).</p> <p>So if your database is 'latin1', and for some reason we don't address it that way you will get improper character mapping of your data to characters. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgraded-to-0831-special-characters-broken#post-13150 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:49:32 +0000 tdh 13150@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>For some reason UTF8 worked before, but the db was latin1. Does bbPress create the tables in latin1?</p> <p>Anyway, changing to the right latin1 table in config.php did the trick.
