(the last post)

author's name filled with инт etc. is being rendered over the right column ->

Perhaps it's because there is no entity #1080.... I don't know if I have to delete it.

(Thanks guys, should be fixed! I will look into a more general fix for this in the future, so that it cannot happen easily...)

George, you pointed to the same thread I mentioned :)

The post you pointed doesn't exist any more, this is the post which moderatores deleted.

Apparently Philipp deleted my post 165838.html#id165980, which was no longer necessary.

The main purpose of that post was to create a new entry. That entry displaced a problematic name on the main forum page arising from the previous post from that forum. It also included an explanation.

Thanks for sharing. I.e. the explanation from the author using #1080 in name?

There is another post by that author.

Google Translate gives "roulette" as the translation of the author's name.
Perhaps Philipp can change that author's name to "Roulette".

And the effect is just similar. Thanks for sharing, let's hope that admins can modify the post.

Here is a similar type of author name.

There does not seem to be a rendering problem now. Perhaps Philipp fixed it. I am looking at it from a different machine than before.

It affects to the title fields of forum's first page too, i.e. title

German Spiegel on Google Goggles' Face Recognition and More
By NexusAndroid

is being rendered like this:

German
Spiegel on
Google
Goggles' Face
Recognition
and More

By
NexusAndroid

I.e. the maximum length of fields is 12 characters.

If anything goes wrong again please send me an email and I'll look into it, thanks! Made some minor adjustments to the software today but a better fix is in the works.
