i hope this is the right forum for this. did you know you cant use signs, like the trademark sign or the copyright sign? it says you have exceeded the word limit. the reason i bring this up is because i was referring to the nintendo 64(trademark) in a post and just for giggles i put the TM sign in but it wouldnt let me post it

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

It's working perfectly fine for me. How are you entering it? Did you try just copy and pasting (from JAF's post perhaps)?

What browser and operating system are you using?

Well, the numpad command (for Windows, anyway) is ALT + 0153 = ™

Doesn't work?

That means that you exceeded the amount of characters you can type into a post. That doesn't mean you can't use special characters from a character map or even different encodings I believe.

"Inveniam Viam Aut Facium" _~

if ( !now ){ when(); }

I find that I run into the same issue.

For example, I am on a MacBook Pro 10.4.11 using Safari 3.0.4.

If I press alt+shift+k I get this (char removed) [was the apple character],

But because of some weird encoding issue, I will exceed the 10k char limit...

This issue seems to lie with the JavaScript implementation of RegEx.

For some reason a Regular Expression will fail with extended characters.

I did some poking around in b.net's javascript files, and found that they use RegEx to validate the character limit.

To test this issue out, go here.

In the 'Regexp:' field put the following line

^[\s\S]{0,10000}$

and click on the 'Test Match' button.

You should get a popup window stating 'Successful match'

Now, 'OK' out of the popup window.

In the 'Subject string:' field add an extended character. alt+shift+k for apple users, and for windows user alt+0153(on keypad)

and click on the 'Test Match' button.

I got a window stating 'No Match'.

QUESTION:

What are your results on the last part of the procedure? Also, what Operating System and Browser are you using?

Update: Seems to be an issue with WebKit.

You can blame Stosh for that.

I'm pretty sure it's only a problem with safari. It's a bit annoying, but if you find it really necessary to post some special characters just use firefox.
