 Did something happen to our characater encoding?
« Thread Started on Oct 8, 2011, 5:29am »

When I transfer stuff from word, and then modify a post, I get all these question marks instead of apostrophes etc.

I don't know if everyone is seeing this. But here's an example so you can see it. When I posted this (at the movie forum) it was fine, but when I modified it, the ? showed up...


I?ve quoted the word?s ?Wise Willy wasn?t so wise?

---

I'm am curious if the default character encoding type was changed on the board and if there's anything that can be done to fix it?

Thanks.

(I ask because I was going to modify something in my film decade thread. And that's all transfered from Word -and long- so I didn't want to risk it)

Not sure, but it has happenned to me several times over the years, so I'm not certain if it's anything new.

Maybe someone else has a more definitive answer.
