I don't know, but this just looks kind of funny. I created a thread called "Best Forum I've Ever Seen" and when I get email notfaction of new posts, the email reads: "Web Wiz Forums : Best Forum I’ve Ever Seen!" in the subject line. Looks like somehow the ( ' ) got converted to a HTML character. Is there a way to fix this? Or is it something wrong with the mail object and not the script? |

It replaces certain characters with the HTML entity equivalent for security reasons. |

| Oh... ok. Well I didn't search the forum first, because I wasn't sure what you would call that and didn't know what to search on.. But at least I know there's nothing wrong with it.. I didn't expect it to be. This script is one of the best I've seen, and it actually works like it should. |

Add this to the decodeString function in the functions_filters.asp file:- strInputEntry = Replace(strInputEntry, "’", "'", 1, -1, 1) ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Does this happen with all non-alpha or non-numeric characters, or only the ( ' ) ? Is there a way I can prevent them all from displaying like that? Is there a security risk or a bad reason not to? |
