Klaus or the Bots have started their great reset on this forum, just look at what they have done to reset the title of this thread - ?€˜The Great Reset?€™

Yep, something didn't go smoothly in GOC's transition.

On CGN, the only characters that are allowed in titles are : ([a-zA-Z0-9:.,$%!?'-+/ ])

By way of example ' is fine, but ‘ and ’ are not.

Lots of newspaper article titles contain such characters. When I copy/paste those titles here at GoC they copy just fine. When I copy/paste those titles at CGN it often takes me a couple tries to get the title into characters that CGN will accept.

I suspect that GoC has run into the same problem.

The "two spies" thread title and Strangeday's first post statement have done it as well.
 
Interesting. I tested a few different combos and it didn't get scrambled.

Will keep looking.

*EDIT* seems that the code is being misinterpreted as UTF-8 and we are using Western ISO.

Ill keep digging. I am assuming the thread was fine when posted?

Yes, the titles changed last night.

I think he's referring to an often noted situation whereby there can be 7 members logged in and 500 or more guests. Even with limited access these "guests" still have the ability to view posts that potentially reveal personal information (aliases, locations hunted or travelled to, items purchased, personal vehicles, personal opinions on politicians or police, etc). We've asked before about the feasibility of all site visitors having to log in as members.

IMO guests being able to see a certain amount of posts is ok. I think this because when I first started getting involved in the community I would search google for different things [for example m14/305 info] and would find posts here or CGN that I was able to read through. At CGN it forced me to sign up if I wanted to search the site directly or see new posts etc. I think it is detrimental [for noobs] to not be able to find us so perhaps a full "lockdown" is not the way to go.
 
The board seems nice and quick today.
Fast posting.
Searching seems quick.

Wait until he finds out the counter only goes to 99999 and then rolls over.

Foxer used to reflect that he was once over ~200,000 posts on CGN, then during a site upgrade suddenly he was down under ~30,000.
