+Insp Gadget Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Everytime I put the & sign in a TB name it shows up as & after I save the TB. I have to edit the name of my TB again and it saves correctly, but why does this show up in the first place?? Mr & Mrs Gadget's Wedding Memories - Timies Link to comment
+blb9556 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have noticed that too. It makes the name look all messed up. I think it is a problem with the character. Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 You basically can't include any special characters in the TB name, or any html in the TB goal or description, when you are first activating the TB. Your best bet is to just put some plain text like "tbd" in all three of those fields during activation, and then edit the page to set it to the name and text that you really want. Why? I don't know. I just know that it's been like this for years, and that's how it has to be done if you don't want weird things happening. Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Now why would you want to name your TB something wierd? Aren't you worried it will be made fun of by all the other little TBs? Link to comment

+Insp Gadget Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Learned something new today. LOL I thought it was either something I was doing wrong or the GC website. Thanks for the explanations!! Link to comment
+Jennifer&Dean Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I believe it only screws up the name if you create it with that character. If you edit the name after creation, the ampersand issues disappears. Link to comment
