Tried to post a thread with the title "Кошки скита Оптиной пустыни принимают участие в Крестном ходе", which is Russian for "Cats take part in the procession at Optina monastery", and I totally fucked up PatNet.

I suspect that the first character wasn't mappable to a character valid for URL paths, so the link's path becomes the empty string and the link itself becomes just "http://patrick.net".

I wasn't thinking of the URL when I copy-n-pasted the title. Unfortunately, I cannot edit the post because it has no URL. A single update statement should fix it though.

Moral of the story: take care when using user text to form URLs and don't use Unicode characters in titles on PatNet.

This bug deserves four eggplant emojis. 🍆🍆🍆🍆 Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if I titled a thread 🍆.

I tried it. It said "somebody already used the title"

Yeah, because it gets mapped to the empty string as well.

I tried again. This tim a "." followed by an emoji. Only the period showed.

Are you campaigning to be Trumpligula's Vice President?

Yep, that's because the first non-mappable character terminates the URL.

Fixed it.

Can't have a forum full of full-throated Putin worshippers without supporting Cyrillic.

In fairness, Putin has never been convicted of ordering the beatings and killings of journalists or former criminal associates. Nor has any court ever found him guilty of ordering polonium dosages for his enemies.

In all fairness, no court has ever convicted Hitler of any crime after the point at which he became fuehrer.

The long arm of the law is too long to reach close by high-ranking politicians.

Because the fucker has offed himself, duh. The rest of his crew of "high-ranking politicians" who was caught alive was convicted and hanged.

Only because they lost a war. No one from the Bush administration was tried for crimes against humanity. Hence my point stands.

Fuck! I can't use a / in a title.
Soon,no part of the English language will be allowed.
