    Bug: Non standard characters in username

    One of my members, called bman™ has noticed that his username is not displayed correctly on the main forum homepage, rather being displayed as bman?. He has also noticed that his name IS correct when he views a forum list by its category...

    Is this a template problem or one last bug in vbulletin 2.x ?

    You can check out his thread here:

    I have a user named Üñ®êå£íTÿ, but he always shows up normally...

    Except in Mozilla, where it does show entirely just question marks.

      Hmm, seems to be a problem in Internet Explorer here as well, as I have seen it using IE 6 SP1

        This is a template-issue. I'm having no problems with Mozilla here.

        Put the following into your headinsert-template and it should work better:
        HTML Code:
          <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
        for your Users:

        as a workaround they could change the default character-encoding to ISO-8859-1

            Well, more or less ...

            Check your index.php and remove
            HTML Code:
            <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
            there.
