Welcome to today's daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there's no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway,

it's just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how's it going?

Just looked and both the links I initially posted had a corrupt character in them. Quite how that could happen I don’t know, maybe it was the Memmy app. I reloaded the links and they should now be working.

EDIT 1: Arrggh, still the same. I’ll edit it in a browser.

EDIT 2: Same problem with the links posting from a browser. The link includes "=rain®ion" the ampersand gets corrupted.

EDIT 3: Ha, even the text I put in the last edit got corrupted despite being in quotes. The & seems to be the issue.

Let’s try a code post type=rain®ion=nzni

EDIT 4 : Even the code post got corrupted, hmmm, not so wonderful.

Something weird happening in your links. They are getting a registered trademark symbol in them.

Edit: It does it for me too. It's not your app, I suspect it's the new security change that escapes HTML. I've tried a bunch and I give up. Edit the URL and change the ® symbol to be an ampersand and "reg" to make it region.

Fascinating!

so & + reg gives the registered symbol.

Surely there must be a way to get the TM symbol as well?

© is & + copy

™ is & + trade

I haven't worked out how to actually post the link. Just need to have users do the change themselves :(

Like this: ok it is really hard to post this as just plain text, so I will post as an image and you will see

I just tried a URL shortener - https://rb.gy/30vbq
