|
|
I did an update to the master server which has cause one small inconvenience. Basically, I'd done a conversion from mysql to postgresql.
Technical side: MySQL's default character encoding was the Latin1 character set. PostgreSQL's default is UTF-8. A conversion between the two was attempted.
Inconvenience caused: Because of this, several fields which were allowed to contain just about any character supported by the database have been altered, including the "extra info blurb" on player pages. You will need to individually fix your text blurbs.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |

+1 on the Postgres
Could the user descriptions not have been transformed? Or has the character set been reduced?
EDIT: My bad, just re-read the post. |
