Weird characters in the susites.

Post by GawainBS »

Weird characters in the subsites/newssection.

Whenever I few one of the sub-sites, all the apostrophes, i.e. ' , are replaced with little white diamonds with an interrogation mark in them. It's very annoying.
Any known solutions to this?

Thanks in advance!

Only apostrophes? How about non-english letters like : ą, ę, ć, ż, ź? (it should be : a with a small line under it, e with a line, c with a line above, z with a dot, z with a line)

And how about other marks, like quote "?

Everything is just fine in posts and on the forum. It's just on the subsites and the news section.

We're aware of the problem with quotes and apostrophes. Hopefully Buck can get to it soon.

Edit: In the meantime, if you switch your encoding (under the View menu in firefox) from Unicode to Western, then the page will display correctly. But you'll have to change the encoding every time you visit a page....

I think I'll put up with them for the moment. ;-)

The strange characters replacing apostrophes and quotations should be gone as of this morning. Please let me know if you see any others that I missed.

Ahhh! I thought that you mean that every apostrophe, on every site is missing for you. :) mea culpa
