http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/287489-how-to-renew-ip-board/page__pid__1823915__st__0&#entry1823915

I has subscribe that post.
So that I get a email notification when someone reply that post.

After Mark replied me.
I got this email.

Ballet, Μark has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "How to renew IP.Board?". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the "M" becomes "Μ"?
It seems a html encoding.

FYI: My email client is Gmail.

Oh. I got it now!

After I click post. I look at my post and I found that:
& # 9 2 4 ;

(I added the spaces so that the forum will not convert it)
is equal to a letter "M"

Oh yeah.
I know it now after Google a while.
That's html encoding.

He was just upset that Mark was taken so he thought he'd be funny.

Gets mighty annoying if you try to send him a PM and need to type in his name. Same with Alex. :rolleyes:

PMing Mark is a right pain. The quick PM usually isn't enough so I have to copy & paste the name and fight the urge to just dig up some old unrelated PM =p


It's all part of my plan ;)
Although, people still manage to send me several support-related PMs per day.
