Finally got mine. Now it looks just like all the other newsletters...

Well i was a bit disappointed with the content

The good points were the interview with ulats and the forum signature spotlight.

I was thinking back to vinnie's recent custom title which parodied Hawks.
if you didn't catch it , it was: kicking names and taking a**

made me howl with laughter , he got ya there Hawk

so....perhaps pick the best of them for the next issue...but it's such a minor thing probably can't be capitalised on for the newsletter.

**HAWK** · Jun 10, 2007, 12:23

I didn't even notice it! I bet that pissed him off.

**akritic** · Jun 10, 2007, 12:56

I guess that stresses my point, these custom titles are often over looked

**Raffles** · Jun 11, 2007, 05:10

I can't say I noticed a big difference either. But I did notice Vinnie's CT, thought it was quite funny.

**Dan Schulz** · Jun 11, 2007, 05:36

I still haven't gotten my copy yet.

**akritic** · Jun 11, 2007, 09:09

I find that some issues of the newsletters miss me also.

**Dan Schulz** · Jun 11, 2007, 11:10

This is the first one I've actually missed. And I'm subscribed to all of them. On occasion they'll end up in my spam folder, but that's just Yahoo being... well, a bunch of yahoos.

**akritic** · Jun 12, 2007, 11:24

I'm suscribed too, to at least 3 emails. That happens when you state different emails in your sitepoint purchases..

Nice interview with brothercake this month... I was starting to think the same as him recently about the whole social networking thing.. I just feel like it's a waste of time.

**coolguy27** · Jul 14, 2007, 09:29

Crier is all about what?

Please explain to me that's new to me...

Thanks...

The sitepoint community crier is a newsletter which you can sign up to receive here

**HAWK** · May 27, 2008, 13:56

That's very helpful dongshan.
Unfortunately you're about 10 months too late.

**akritic** · May 27, 2008, 23:54

Tell me, are you having a senior moment HAWK, or else some spammer got his posts deleted?

**HAWK** · May 28, 2008, 12:37

Most definitely the latter...

I'm viewing the new community crier #147 in thunderbird, (win XP, sp2) it shows the apostrophes in this link text thus... Whatâ?™s New? SitePointâ?™s Front Page Redesign

I see this fairly frequently where an apostrophe is displayed on screen as â?™, and have tried Googling â?™ to see what the character encoding problem is, but get no hits from that character string.. I presume it is a character set issue, but would love to see an explanation, perhaps here and in the next Sitepoint Community Crier?

My default character encoding for incoming and outgoing mail in thunderbird is utf-8 BTW.

If I open it in firefox/opera the apostrophes display fine ...

Thanks for your feedback Colin.
This thread is over a year old and was actually intended for the old Crier.
Your best bet would be to PM chris_fuel who is responsible for the new version.

**colinmcc** · Aug 6, 2008, 18:50

I pm'd Chris on July 29th, who hasn't replied yet, Aug 6th... I also notice â?™ appearing instead of a ' today, this time in a sitepoint forum advert, I was using Ubuntu as OS on an eepc and ff as my browser..

**HAWK** · Aug 6, 2008, 18:58

I'll bring it to his attention.
