Title: Never thought of it before
Post by: Celebrimbor on December 10, 2008, 06:00:37 AM
How does Dain login with that weird ascii character (the a with the accent on it).

I know that the charmap utility works, but what a pain that would be logging in and out, making sure that exact character is there. ;)

For one thing, I never log out. I am omnipresent. :uh-huh:

No, seriously, it's because I'm an admin. AKA a forum god, and I'm just GOOD like that. :fire:

Okay, SERIOUSLY seriously, I'm able to get around it because my actual username in the system is "DainIronfoot", but my display name is "DáinIronfoot". Yes, those are two seperate things in SMF forums. For example, Elessar's Socks originally signed up for the forum as "Socks". He later decided he wanted his full username back, so he asked us to change it, which I did to the full "Elessar's Socks". So now HIS display name is Elessar's Socks, but his name in the administration panel is still Socks.

Weird, I know, but it DOES make logins easier. ;)

Yeah.  Weird.  I presume it didn't work this way back at CC under phpbb software?

EDIT: I now observe some other weird thing happening.  SoP's rank is a bunch of clowns instead of stars.  What's going on there?

Indeed he does, Menace. Indeed he does. We'll have to do something about this....

Ahem, uh...that's because SoP is what we call "special", in many senses of the word.

Seriously, how could I NOT give special privledges to a guy that looks like this?

SoP's spam is on a level all its own. We figured that his long efforts in the field of spamming deserved special recognition.

Which is, of course, the main idea anyway, so I fail to see why that would be a problem.

I think this thread's gayness level has gotten out of hand... maybe we should put an end to it?
