One of my dragons is my lair's chest keeper and she wants all of them. However, when I try to type [item=Marva’s Temporary Test Tube], the picture of the test tube isn't showing up in the bio. I thought maybe I'd used up too much space, but I can enter [item=Marva's Brilliant Beaker] twice, and it shows up just fine. (The dragon is Chikako in case you want to see) I tried using the dbref # of the test tube too, but that did nothing. I thought maybe it was called something different, but every place I've looked has it as Marva’s Temporary Test Tube... can someone help me figure this out please? :)
Thank you,
Ari

It's the apostrophe. The default apostrophe on most keyboards is slightly different to the one used here - it may or may not be intentional, since the beaker DOES use the default apostrophe.
For now, copy the name directly from the Game Database or use the Share button to get the proper code.
[code]
[item=Marva's Temporary Test Tube] (wrong)
[item=Marva’s Temporary Test Tube] (correct)
[/code]
[item=Marva’s Temporary Test Tube] [item=Marva's Temporary Test Tube]

I copied and pasted the name directly from the Game Database and from items in the Auction House, that didn't work. I tried sharing it and pasting the icon in the bio, it comes out blank. I copied and pasted the widget, and it shows the name and teensy avatar. I even tried typing it out by hand. No joy. I am stumped :D Especially since I copied and pasted the brilliant beaker one directly from the game database name. Gah :D
Edit: @NightmareJudge Oh, and thank you very much for your suggestions :)

After testing for myself...yep, looks like this is a dragon bio problem. Quoting your post & copying from the Game Database gives me the same results - works fine in forums, doesn't work in a dragon's biography.
Turns out there's exactly one other item in the game that uses the ’ apostrophe - Skin: Rot n’ Roll. Trying to put that item name in a dragon bio...yup, same result. It appears that the item code cannot recognize an item with that apostrophe in its name.
It was likely never noticed since skins have their own display code based on item ID, much like the widgets, which is why those function as normally. If you don't mind, I'll put that in Bug Reports right away!
