Clicking on current location/birthplace/hometowns/wishlist in people's profiles produces random flakiness. For example, starting from Tatata's page: http://extra.wikitravel.org/user/tatata we get... http://extra.wikitravel.org/profile/profile_current_location/Chiba -- blank http://extra.wikitravel.org/profile/profile_birthplace/Chiba -- blank http://extra.wikitravel.org/profile/profile_hometown/Chiba -- shows Tatata, but his location is linked as "千葉, Chiba" http://extra.wikitravel.org/profile/profile_wishlist/Taiwan -- shows Tatata, but his location is linked as "千葉, Chiba" The breakage may be related to his use of Japanese characters and/or commas/separators in the entries, because some other profiles I poked at seem to work.

I knew about it, but it was a low priority as no one was complaining ;-). I'll put it on the list for this week... Of course, what we're really waiting for is Dopplr to open their API...

Good & bad

Good news is that I've narrowed it down to the non-ascii characters as the source of the problem. Bad news is I haven't sussed out how to fix it yet. Stay tuned.
