Arabic in Member Profile

Information in my profile that I type in Arabic comes up as question marks.

Having been driven nuts trying to get my macs to work smoothly with Arabic text I think it's rather ironic to have to have the same problem here >.<

Do you think you'll fix the problem soon?

Thanks and thank you for a great forum!

Not sure, we don't have an Arabic language pack for vBulletin installed and that may be the problem. Not a Mac thing, more like a vBulletin thing... I think...

أنا اكتب هذه الكلمات بشكل طبيعي في سفاري الاصدار الثالث. I am writing in Arabic natively using Safari Beta 3

O.o

I thought Arabic text would work in the forum, just not in the profile, but it seems to not be working anywhere.

I see the Arabic text in my last post as question marks, but can see Zaid's Arabic text. Zaid Al Hilali can you see what I've written?

I'm still using Safari 2.0.4, I opened the thread in firefox and still just got questions marks.

Is the only solution upgrading to Safari 3? >.<

YES! Don't let the Beta word scare you away, many features in Safari 3, try it.
