Yay, no more busted diamonds on old messages on responsive!

So anyone using responsive and non-English characters... let me know if people using the old website have problems viewing your messages.
So....yeah. NEW messages posted on the responsive site using non-English characters are complete gibberish on the old site. Old messages render fine on the old site. It's almost like every character is appearing as individually a different, wrong character. (For example, á on responsive is rendering as á on the old site.) Strings of Chinese characters are particularly amusing, one I tested coming up as “顯然,他們以為是我,直到我出ç¾ä¸¦æ²’有æ»ã€‚†on the old site.
But I agree with Skald. The more people that go ahead and get on responsive, the better. =D
Truthfully, too, I wonder how much of an actual /problem/ it is? (I have no idea how many people are still on the old site. Does anyone?) It's disconcerting when single characters render wrong - like the á example, but it doesn't make the word unreadable, and at least in the games I'm familiar with, when we see entire strings of other characters they usually have an English translation provided afterwards, which IS readable even if the non-English string isn't.
Of course, I have no idea how many actual games ARE being run in other languages, so it might be a much bigger problem...but still one that can be solved by switching to responsive!
