Compsci.ca Glitch?

[andrew.]

For some reason, when I come to compsci.ca now, the site looks really weird.


It didn't do this 5 minutes ago, so maybe the admins are fixing/tweaking something. I was just wondering if it was me, or if it looked like this for everyone.

i bet its that huge title from one of the topics

[mother teresa]

they might have just changed the website?

[Insectoid]

I doubt it teresa, it would be very unwise to force side-scrolling. I agree with alexmula, probably that title.

[andrew.]

Yeah. That post is really weird. It's in Russian or something.

[Tony]

fixed, by deleting the offending topic. It was some Russian spam anyway.

Since this topic is resolved, is there anything you can do about unicode support? It all turns into question marks

Ack, the Russians are on to us!

I don't believe PHP supports unicode in the core distribution.

I believe it will still work with it (but return the wrong length on unicode strings (number of bytes, rather than number of characters) and other minor things). I have been on php forums that work with unicode, I know PunBB does.

What forum software is compsci running? It looks like SMF, but maybe an old version?

It's running a heavily modified version of phpBB 2.0.

How heavily modified are we talking about?
