Greetings Gus,
I shared with our bb manager, Paul Carson, the issue you have faced. He said
that when we upgraded our bb system from 6.1 to 6.2, we noticed that all
diacritical marks stored in the database were lost. They applied an Oracle
character fix to the oracle database. This restored our ability to see the lost
diacritical marks. Paul says that Hofstra's bb system is hosted by the
blackboard ASP. Hope you will find this helpful.
Peace,
mustapha

Hello LLTIers,
We just migrated our campus BlackBoard system from 5.x to 6.1 and most of the
diacriticals in our Spanish courses were lost in the course rollovers.
Has anyone had experience with this? Suggestions for resolving it?
Some characteristics are summed up here:
>Foreign characters appear incorrectly in emails
>Symptoms:
>Foreign characters that are entered in the subject and message areas of emails
sent from within the Content System appear as question marks (?).
>
>Discussion Board attachments that contain foreign characters in the file name
cannot be viewed.
>Symptoms:
>An error message is displayed when the user attempts to open the document. This
issue appears under all conditions.
We'd appreciate any suggestions for us as classes start Monday.
Thanks,
Gus
