I tried to post a Unicode four leaf clover emoji (https://emojipedia.org/four-leaf-clover/), because it exists, but it broke the board, probably because this is a very old version of phpBB (mysqli is outmoded by PDO now):
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Incorrect string value: '\xF0\x9F\x8D\x80' for column 'post_text' at row 1 [1366]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
Please notify the board administrator or webmaster: dave@aintnoright.org
I'm pretty sure that it's saying that because you're running a very old version of MySQL, or need to update its settings to allow newer Unicode: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/109 ... l-via-jdbc

So, even more work than adding a clover "smiley".

Here, have a shamrock unicode emoji instead: ☘️

Yeah...I don't know how to do any of that.

Anyone want to take over hosting this site? I will sell you the site for $0. I was thinking about moving the board to one of those free message board sites. You would probably get a few ads. This place does not get enough traffic for me to continue paying $10 a month plus the cost of the domain.

Just to be clear: you can post many unicode characters directly into your posts. So if you like the shamrock, you could copy and paste it somewhere so you can use it at will. Any of these will work: https://emojipedia.org/unicode-4.1/ ⚓ as well as these: https://emojipedia.org/unicode-5.1/⭐ And these: https://emojipedia.org/unicode-5.2/ ⛈️ But not any from Unicode 6 or later (as far as I know).

No, he meant if Creep switches the board to a free server. Unicode emojis are the same as text -- they're approved by the official Unicode standard.



Look! I'm in Ireland! Weee!!! :yeay:

Perhaps we can do another internethon for donations?

Considering that Clickie is trying to rip me a new asshole in another thread, I would happily donate again. :tiphat:

Speaking of traffic.

What exactly caused this many people to show up?
Most users ever online was 226 on Sun Jan 29, 2017 9:12 pm
Someone must know, because I sure don't and each time I check this place out lately I always wonder why so many people where here that night

:noclue:
