Unallowed characters in description

hi,
on the new version , i still have the same prob fo the "Unallowed characters in description.".
it s amazing the time we can waste for find the caractere that is not allowed, and i can imagine that the poor basic user must wonder what goes wrong,especially when he doesn t speak english.
is it possible to have a list of the caractere not allowed pls?
btw this is the texte that is refused:

or it would be handy that the script tells what caracter is wrong instead of play to sherlock holmes with caracteres.
i try to upload this video since 20 minutes, still didn t find what is wrong....

Yes, a list of allowed or disallowed would be nice.

In your case, I can't see anything that should upset the script...
Weird...

i got it working..... i ve put a "." after "Josh Sanders" ...
this is a true pain :cry:

Yup, that's a big mess.. We have the same problem too :(

Are you using release 20070530 ?

This version will allow most characters.

I have the latest release with the update. On initial upload of the file, it lets you use the characters, but the description appears like this:

I just got the camera and here\'s us during a night out.

(Notice the slash.)

When you go to "EDIT" the video later on, it doesn't allow the characters by returning the following "error" message:

Unallowed characters in description.

Yep mine does it also, ive tried to make funky headings with it lol

Can not edit from the user interface.

error: "Unallowed characters in description."
BUT, entries can be edited from the Admin interface.

Also, backslash's (\) are added on single and double quotes.
ie: don\'t

Oh, really! I'll have to try it!

UPDATE: It worked. Editing the description works from the ADMIN panel, and not the user interface. hmm....

The backslash before certain characters is part of a problem with working with php - since quotes are used to declare variables and begin and end text strings (like the title or the description), the php parser has to know the difference between a quote that is being used to begin or end the description, and a quote that's to be included IN the description. The way php does that, is to "escape" out quotes that are to be included as part of the text, by preceding them with a backslash.

Should be a way to get rid of them on use though, just like this message board does - probably not quite a priority yet with everything else everyone wants :)
