Greetings All,

I hope this helps those having problems with creating and keep permanent channels or the text within them.

Besides making a channel "registered", I have also found on the RC2 version that single quotes (') may not be used in any part of the channel name, topic, description, etc. The earlier RC1 version supported this. I believe I read someplace this new RC2 version is using some form of SQL to access the server saved data. If this is true, a single quote is a valid character for processing within the SQL language and would cause problems if not handled properly. Double quotes are handled in RC2 by replacing the " with a "" (3 in the code probably). You will find that the fields with single quotes are not being saved after a TS restart. If a single quote is used in the channel name, the entire channel will not be recorded to your server database. Not sure if this leaves reminents in the server database....hope not.

My solution? I am using a reverse quote (`) instead for both the single and double quote.

I hope this helps those having problems in this area.
