UK Pound character truncates posts

On my minibb installation, when I type the £ character, the post gets truncated at the point where I type it. (The character itself is not seen.)

Any idea why this happens? I'm using version 2.2b (but it seems to work here!)

We would like to force you first read forum rules regarding bug reports: http://www.minibb.com/forums/7_843_0.html#msg25843

If it works here, and if it works on minibb demo, that could mean the problem comes somewhere exclusively on your side. So we could determine what's wrong only investigating your own server, at the very deep level, seeing what happens in database etc. Without debugging, we have no ideas what's wrong.

I would recommend still to change your forums encoding from iso-8859-1 (if it's set up that way currently) to iso-8859-2.

Apologies for posting in the wong place.

I've tried using iso-8859-2 and also utf-8 but neither make any difference. I've also checked the database and the post in the 'minibbtable_posts' table is truncated also... So it is a problem with storing the post, and not rendering it.

It happens with different browsers and on different machines, so it's definitely a problem with the way things are set up on the server. Is there anything else I can try?

Well, of course if the post is truncated in database, it will be visibly truncated on the page too :-) The reason happens somewhere on the way between you send the data and the server accepts it... maybe miniBB could be the reason, but so far I didn't meet such problem. So you need to catch/debug all steps while you are making the post.

Above is an example in default miniBB it works...

I use the code

& followed by pound;

as using the £ symbol on my forum doesn't work with Firefox.

As you see guys it all works with Firefox... I am using that too. So without investigation, it's not possible for me to determine the problem.
