Help! I mean, help, need a 2nd set of eyes
 
Hey, have a look at this page: http://www.subsim.com/ssr/shells_fury.php

Tell me if you see little boxes where the apostrophes go... I do. I'm trying to find out what is causing this, maybe a config file on the server, maybe my new PC, maybe my eyes are shot...

thanks!
Neal

Yes, I do... ex
All machines are different and maybe I�ve been lucky.

Ya, I see them too.

I see them.

ed: If you are fixing things; the mini screenshot image of the map gives a 404 when clicked on. Other images work fine.

Neal,

was this content pasted from an outside program like microsoft word where it was originally written?

if so, my website has done similar things when i have prepared information in microsoft office word and past the info into the site.

That's possible, originally. But they rendered fine on the old server. I noticed this when we migrated last year but never got around to it.

See'em as well.

VonHesse 01-20-10 08:26 PM

Yes sir, I see it too. The apostrophes and the hyphens have been replaced with little boxes. I see things like that when I browse the web on my old cellphone, but never on an actual computer.

Weird. It doesn't recognize the apostrophes or hyphens, but all other punctuation marks (commas, quotations, semi-colons, etc.) are fine.

Wish i could be more helpful as to the cause. good luck:salute:

Yeah, I see the buggers. Now, how do we take them out? :hmmm:

Raptor! Fetch the Nagant! :rock: I'll get my M-14...

I changed my browser's character encoding from Unicode to Western and the problem went away. :woot:

frau kaleun 01-20-10 08:37 PM

I sees 'em too, as has been said above I've only noticed this kind of thing in the past with text that has been imported from Word or some such. No idea why it would suddenly "go bad" moving from one server to another though if it was okay initially.

MothBalls 01-20-10 08:40 PM

It's the encoding. Need to fix your header.

Right, but I think the real solution lies in making the webpage work for the reader, otherwise I have to e-mail 4,266,092 people and ask them to change their browser settings.:shucks:
