Revised fix instructions for usernames
Friends, I've spent the last couple days migrating OrthodoxWiki to a new server (running Ubuntu Oneric Oncelot) and upgrading the various wikis to the newest version of MediaWiki. I have wanted to do this for a long time, but kept putting it off since it was a major project. Thanks to the dev team at WikiMedia, the upgrades went pretty smoothly, except that there were a lot of character encoding issues to work through.
Unfortunately, some users may find that their usernames are illegible and may have to request their passwords . If you are having trouble logging in, send me an email at info@ (this domain name) with their your registered email addresses in order to login under the same accountaddress and username and I can reset this for you. (As far as I can see, this mostly affects users who were using Eastern European character encodings such as CP1251. I apologize for the trouble -- I fought valiantly, but was not able to get this resolved.) We are running in a stricter UTF-8 environment now, which means better things for the future.
If you find bugs -- I am sure there are a few still lingering -- let me know. In Christ, — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit§ion=new talk])
