I knew there was a reason I usually don’t use ‘acutes’ etc.

I knew there was a reason I usually don’t use ‘acutes’ etc. Can't Post

(Well usually just laziness.)

Anyway could somebody change the “a” in Nain to just a regular “a” as it comes up (on my computer at least) as looking something like a backward “j”.

Strange. [In reply to] Can't Post

The acute was working when I used 'Markup and HTML' and previewed the post, but the acute wouldn't stay when I posted the changed item.

I've switched it to a standard 'a'.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Thank you for doing that. But Náin ... [In reply to] Can't Post

yes 'strange' is the word. I noticed when I first looked at the post that the acute was gone. I either refreshed or went somewhere else and came back and it was ok. And then over again and it was gone again. I (seem) to recall this happening before. Probably something on my end... I'm on 'Markup & HTML', and my 'preview' shows it correctly too.

Náin

In the long run it's really no big deal as most folks don't use accents anyway. I think we're all aware that it's an extra step to do so.

Thanks again Ataahua,
Happy Holidays and Cheers
