That's character trouble as in "I am a pretentious fool and thought it would be really cool to change my name into greek letters, forgetting that they're not supported in the name font".

So, this is me for the next 28 days. Thought I'd better explain.

Uhm. Can someone intervene?

Can someone intervene,
and call Adam Levine,
tell him Maroon 5's like a dirty latrine,
piss on the floor, dirty flow like Adam,
top ten on Billboard, that's just sad man

If you PM Tom he might be able to allow you to change your name straight away, or make the next month pass by in seconds or something. He's like Aslan, just without the need to lay immense Catholic guilt on you for your bad decisions.

PM Tom, have him cook up somethin',
changin' a username to him is like nothin',
nothin' but a chicken wing, Hawkeye's arm in a sling,
Makes Hawkeye as useless as a band with Adam Levine

Cheers. It wouldn't be a problem if there were spaces in between the characters, just the way it is now is a framewrecker.

I just pray to God I don't meet you in real life in the next twenty-eight days... how the fuck does one pronounce that shit after a couple of beers?

16:39 / 24.04.06
Spyder like it like that,
but he ignorin' the fact,
that Legba's posts stick out to where edit be at,
it's straight murder on the eyes,
like maggots eatin' thighs,
Tom'll fix this problem faster than McDonald's fries

Stoats on a Plane,
havin' trouble pronouncin' your name,
so many characters, like the names of each snake on that plane,
gotta shorten that shit, like callin a British person Brit,
make the name look more beautiful like a baby by Jolie and Brad Pitt

Ah, but, Senor Falcon, I think the name HTML doesn't support or recognise it. May be in a different font.

And Stoatie, it's:

"And Hash Nine Two Three Semi Colon And Hash Nine Four One Semi Colon And Hash Nine Four Seven Semi Colon And Hash Nine Four Six Semi Colon And Hash Nine Four Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh buggrit buggrit bugger"

Oh, wonderful, Jack!

I´ll put your poems in my Lyrics inspired by Barbelith thread!

Are you sure you want it to be pronounced "and" and not "ampersand"?

Hey Λέγβά how are you doing?

Strangely enopugh, now every time I see "Λέγβά" in a thread, I automaticaly read "Legba Rex". Incredibly adaptive little thing, the human brain...
 
 
The Falcon

I too know the pain of making a mess of my username, O [unintelligible]. However, I did not make such a massive, massive cock of it as you.

And, in my last post, I just cut and paste'd Legba's ill fortunated new ficsuit. The site reshaped it into readable greek characters, thus ruining my joke.

I think the problem is that rendering the text as a link somehow breaks the encoding. Even changing the browser character set to Greek doesn't help. I suppose it's because anything between the ""s of a hyperlink is regarded by HTML parsing as a literal string.
That means it's not entirely your fault as you weren't to know that was going to happen unless you were a code geek.

Ampersand Hash, that gif is strangely repulsive.
 
 
All Acting Regiment
19:37 / 24.04.06
Ahh, so it's being a link that did it, not the font lacking characters. I see. Well, I've PM'd Tom, and now I guess we'll just wait and see.
 
 
Elijah, Freelance Rabbi

In html coding unless you specially allow for link titles to use the special character set everything between the [a]and[/a] (pointy brackets replaced with square) is treated as pure text. This becomes annoying to say the least, especially when dealing with database management.

The image above is Kirby, of Kirby's Adventures, a video game about a little cloud guy who eats his enemies, and gains their powers.

That may well be what he is, but what he actually looks like is a very round bell-end doing something along the lines of a reverse piss.

I don't have any better words for it than that. I'm sorry.
