Another site upgrade report...

This problem has been resolved. We may have to do a bit of cleanup on new comments, but everything else should be fine.
We've noticed an issue with "special" characters in stories, comments, and usernames imported from the old database. This is primarily an issue in words with accented e's, e.g. Exposé, as you can see in the title to this hint ... but it will happen to any accented character we had in the system at the time of the upgrade.
For users with accented characters in their username, this means they cannot login at the moment. We're working on the problem, and will probably have to go offline for a bit later today to resolve it. I apologize for the troubles; the export and import routine worked perfectly in testing, but something snuck in (of course) when we did the live update.
On the (minor) good news front, I have fixed the comment layout so that lines are no longer hard wrapped...
