With a very few characters -- Caoimh is the only one I know of for sure -- going to the train page would trigger a fatal bug in the xml parser and crash the server. This is the source of the recent mini-rollbacks.
Changing xml libraries isn't an option; the only other one available for tcl with reasonable performance is much crashier. (Using a niche language has its drawbacks.)
So, I wrote a program to convert the train page to a boring old tcl-based template. It seems to work for me, but please exercise it and make sure it works. Then I will start converting my other xml-based templates to avoid potential crashes in the future.
Seems to be working to me.

working
Works fine for me. My training sets still work 'n' everthang.
It's not supposed to look any different, is it? Because it doesn't.

I got to the train page fine but I did have to click twice on show all minions which I never had to do before.I did it a second time to make sure.It blinks the first time and doesn't expand,then I click a second time and it works.

Yeah, 'show all minions' seems to require a click to wake it up, then click again and it works.
Everything else seems to work ok.
sometimes the training page acts weird. like i could train a new skill EO ED even though i dont have the exp, or i have exp and i cant train base stats(hp,st,dx=20) but i can still apply exp to an already trained skill DD EO or ED
Can I dump in some illegal characters in the names of the minions see if that does anything?
At the moment zero problems.
No problems so far. I did notice a change yesterday where the fractions listed 'third' and 'half' instead of '1/3 Max' and '1/2 Max', but that seems to have been reverted.
I second Johnny about the 'show all minions' button.

Mine's fine, but I wasn't having a problem to begin with, so I'm not sure if that's relevant.
Mine just asked me if I want to bench one of my fairies. :-)
