Will Kirk Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I was surfing in the Members list and I noticed this written beneath about half of the names in the entire list What's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 It stands for "Never Before Sodomized Person"... Kind of. Actually, I have no idea, it's a very good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob stole my cookie Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 isnt that the caracter combination that usually comes up before an unknown or unreadable character? :toothygrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 nbsp stands for "non-breaking space". I'm presuming this is happening due to the conversion (yes, still more cobwebs), as some user title have been left blank, which is causing the software to replace them with this, but I see no way of resolving the issue aside from running a series of database queries to update all appropriate fields. I'll contact vBulletin support and see what they've got to say about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnGalt Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 NBSP is the code for a space character, " ", commonly used in html where whitespace is not interpreted. If you see it, it means either the code is no longer being parsed correctly, or the code is wrong, like missing a character or used in the wrong spot.

Mike Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 In this case, it would actually seem vB has decided to escape the "&" character at the start to "&", so " " comes out literally as opposed to actually being interpreted as a non-breaking space. At a glance, I can't figure out why this is happening, looking at the file in question (memberlist.php), but hey, we paid for a licence that includes support, why not take full advantage of it? :toothygrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 The issue should be fixed now. Any more problems, just shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
