[25464] Storm of Love aka Sturm der Liebe
Duplicate of 16579, albeit with more detail besides lack of actress names. They need to be consolidated, but I've never been too good at that.

Character Set
Brian:

I tried to send this by email, but never got an acknowledgement from the page:

I don't know if its related to the problem with display that you fixed on Saturday, but all of a sudden there is a problem with the display of certain characters on both the forum pages and in the database. Some character(s) can't be displayed and is being replaced with a black diamond (if you look at the last 10 DB entries you'll see exactly what I mean).

I did a fast check and entries going back weeks which had been displayed correctly are now showing the same problem. I'm not sure how much control you have a the character set on the site, but you may need to contact the web host to investigate.

Tied to a bed. Decent look at Stevens' bonds.

Thanks for letting me know. I have fixed the Contact
form. I will have to look into the other. I suspect
that all of these are related, so I have a ticket
into the hosting company.

The database display is the problem. The DB text file
is fine. The forum doesn't show the problem if you
put the characters in directly, only copy/paste from
the DB shows it. I will keep working on it.

Re: Character Set
The hosting company updated PHP a recently, and that seems to be the source of all problems. In this case, the default character set couldn't handle some of these characters.

I let them know and modified the display routines to override the character set with ISO-8859-1 and things look good now.

I think DB entries copy/pasted into forum messages are probably broken, but we'll live with that.

Let me know if you see anything else odd.

Good enough. I'll do the pending updates in the morning and let you know if anything weird crops up. Thanks.
