Hi Percy,
I'm getting strange symbols instead of the proper ones that should be present. It may have something to do with my language settings. My keyboard is DE (German), I'm using firefox (latest one as I just updated it recently). I'll copy and paste examples:
He was a geneticist in Zelensky’s lab
evolution, and pretty much the worlds’ authority on BioPhilately.
of how molecular biology “took over” biology departm
What other infos about my system do you need?
{ABE} Actually I just noticed this symbol problem on another website. I'm going to deinstall some of my FF add-ons and then check to see about having/getting the newest version of FF. I'll edit this again later with my results.
{ABE} I tried everything in FF; no fix.
Then I opened I.E. and found the same symbols WTF

Hi Admin,
I am still getting these weird symbols, here is another example:
And you cannot logically say that C = D or C  D because you don't know. Thanks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That little box should be a symbol for "does not equal" crossed through equals sign. It is happening in firefox and I.E. I did'nt look at it on my other newer PC but that will be the next step.

Here is the evc post and then the exact part:
EvC Forum: Why "Immaterial Pink Unicorns" are not a logical argument
That isn't true. My statement wasn't true; your statement
wasn't true; that doesn't mean you and I said the same thing.

    quote:But the real comparison is that

    C is an example of A
    D is an example of A
    Therefore C = D

    And you cannot logically say that C = D or C  D because you don't know. Thanks.

Don't confuse equality with
FF gives the zeroes and ones symbol; IE gives the empty box. I've got the newest version of FF. 3.0.6 or something like that.
{ABE} ≠
Hmm....

Re: Site Going Down
Hallo Herr Direktor (Admin),
There are some strange (and I think new) symbols appearing again in the posts of our members.
Here is the latest example:
Found here:
sil, found in Indonesia in 2003 and known as the “Hobbit,” is not hu
I found some stuff on google and it seems to be an issue relating to the apostrophe marks and quote marks. If you google the error is shows quite a few discussions of the error symbols.

Re: Site Going Down
Ah yes, I can get it to display correctly if I flip the firefox tab into an IE tab and then switch the coding as you said into UTF-8. Nice one.
