Text corruption

← Back to News

Hello all,

Just a quick note to say that there has been some text corruption around the site, particularly in member names.

We were taken down for emergency maintenance by our hosting company and given very little time to prepare for it - it's unfortunately left us with some text issues. It should be safe to go ahead and re-save your names and/or forum post text if you wish to change them. Hopefully this shouldn't happen again for a long time :)

I'm afraid to look at my horses now	Posted by ♧Legacy Ranch ♧ (#108403) 6th February 2018 at 08:03:42
My ranch and all my horses' names have a circled 7 in them, but whenever I try to re-insert it, all I get my is a question mark.	Posted by Storie (#91200) 6th February 2018 at 08:13:45
Only changed two of my horses names, I've got Honey Pot â™¥ and Ã†}Whirlwind's Queen.	Posted by Ducky (#90651) 6th February 2018 at 08:19:28
I can't change my name to anything that has special text...	Posted by ✧ io (#102952) 6th February 2018 at 09:31:16
Yikes, I'm gonna have to fix about 650 horses' names. Eeeesh. Thanks for letting us know what happened.	Posted by «» Only the Wind (#55431) 6th February 2018 at 09:36:15
Yeah my brand has gone weird... thanks for letting us know :)	Posted by Ûµ Pegasusdreamer Ûµ (#93994) 6th February 2018 at 09:37:12
It seems emojis now no longer work, and save out as weird characters instead. :c	Posted by River (#51565) 6th February 2018 at 10:41:27
I had a black heart in front of a couple of my horse's names but when I try to insert it again, it turns into a question mark..yet how is Absinthe's name fine with the heart? also, my name shows up for me, but in the forums it's 3 question marks..(that's why it's double right now)	Posted by ₸ϻɌa͎n͎c͎h͎ (#31174) 6th February 2018 at 10:49:00
The rabbit in my name no longer shows up. :( Thanks for letting us know, though, so we can take care of it. ♥	Posted by Syrien 🐇 ☽ (#86327) 6th February 2018 at 11:09:36
I guess I no longer have hearts in front of my horses names or in my name any longer. :( All I get are question marks!!!	Posted by 💜𝓕𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 (ℱ𝒢)💜 (#72812) 6th February 2018 at 12:14:57
Oh Goodness... :P this will take some time	Posted by ❦BlueEyedLuv❦ (#103923) 6th February 2018 at 13:13:35
^ I'm in the same position as several others, I've tried to put emojis/unicode symbols back in my home page and division names but they appear as question marks	Posted by Raptor (#79219) 6th February 2018 at 13:37:41
All the non standard characters seem to be garbled up. I suspect the whole text content is affected .. Cant they be repaired by a script or something? Maybe restored from an earlier backup, if one exists? This could save a lot of work for many players... :(	Posted by Zero⭕Risk (#94184) 6th February 2018 at 18:51:03
Oh no...I'm afraid to look at my page now...	Posted by mgarabs (#90033) 7th February 2018 at 10:43:27
