[marshabar1]

Lakota's name is also changed. Try changing the title to Roommates and see what happens.

[marshabar1]

Whatever has happened has also changed the non-political chit chat title. Lakhota's name now has the black diamond ? in place of the o. They are scattered through the posts.

[Virgil Showlion]

Lakhota's name changed because ProBoards changed the character encoding on the boards.

The 'Whaat' thread, I don't know. I changed it to 'Whaat?' on the off-chance it was a cache issue on ProBoards' end.

[moon/Laura]

other than the title (which i now see as 'whaat?', it all looked fine to me.. looks fine to me, still...

i have no explanation. i know that when i am moving posts (rather than deleting) there are times things look weird.. or on my phone, sometimes..

[marshabar1]

I was able to fix the title, change it. Title now: Anthony Weiner & Jon Stewart.

When I first typed it the capital letter A turned to ? mark symbol but it went back to A.



Look at the title of the non-political thread. At least some of the vowels are changed to capital A. There are some other threads that are similarly effected.

[marshabar1]

Don't you see the �'s replacing all the commas and occurring randomly at sentence ends or beginnings?

[moon/Laura]

nope.. it looks like it's supposed to for me..

[NoMoreLunacy]

I think it is a conspiracy!

[marshabar1]

Does Lakhota's name look like Lakh�ta?

[NoMoreLunacy]

No, but I still think it is a giant conspiracy.

[marshabar1]

Ignoring you now lunacy.

Washington - On Monday night�s Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the host, a former roommate of the congressman, confessed that Weinergate and the entire episode involving pictures of his friend Rep. Anthony Weiner of NY, was �killing� him.

Jon Stewart was clearly not sure how to react to his friend�s confession that he had indeed himself been responsible for sending sexually suggestive photos of himself via Twitter.

�I don�t know what to do anymore! It�s killing me, �he said on last night�s �Daily Show�, which was taped in New York after the congressman had already given his press conference earlier in the day admitting to the indiscretions after having denied them for a week.
I must admit, I am also deeply saddened by this story as it too is killing me.

No I didn�t room with Anthony Weiner in a summer house in Delaware in the 1980s as did Stewart.

Wow, I was just looking for information about Weiner and health care.

I'll bet Stewart was torn. I hope he didn't pizz Weiner off with his humorous news uncoverage.



You can't see the � � � �'s ??

[moon/Laura]

only when you copy them in here.. there must be some weird thing that got turned on in your browser, is all i can guess. the one and only time it looked weird for me is the first post i made in this thread

[marshabar1]

Seeing the same capital A's on Market board too. I guess I'll turn off and see if it clears things up. PM'd you more examples. Does the NON-political thread title look okay to you?

[marshabar1]

Not occurring on other ProBoards, Moon.

All quotation marks including in my signature look like �

[NoMoreLunacy]

Since this is a conspiracy I think the right thing to do would be to contact Faux News.

hmm.. i went back and looked at one of your quotes and i'm seeing it there now... plus in the newest thread title ...


but i have no answer for you, unfortunately.. i've added no new codes since the ignore button of the other day.

[marshabar1]

It has changed again, Moon. I restarted my Mac and now your first post on this thread looks like this:



has a title of " Whi¿½t?" right now, i think.. and don't ask me what happened there.. i have no idea..


Instead of "WhAaat?"

Maybe Lunacy is using his talents for evil instead of good?? Seems interested.

[moon/Laura]

marsha, when i went into your post where you showed me what you see when you type a quote, i see " �" there.. that is ASCII code or something...

Well it's only on this board, Moon. I've signed in to two others and everything is normal. The other threads that had changed titles are back to normal.

My Weiner and Stewart thread had been changed to

¿½nthony Weiner & Jon Stewart

I was able to correct it.

[moon/Laura]

and funny.. when i typed what i saw - which was & # 65533 (with no spaces), it converted it to the symbol.. but i don't know why it's happening for you on this board only..

maybe virgil will be able to shed some light.

[NoMoreLunacy]

Order has been restored. The free world can now rest easy.

[marshabar1]

Moon, take a look at the Weiner & Stewart thread.

I reposted the quote from the original post, the quote from Michelle Malkin's website. In both the OP and in the repost the quote is wrong. It is wrong at the Malkin website also. I think someone hacked her site.

[marshabar1]

Ack! I'm going to bed.

Stewart greets guest Anthony Weiner who he knew in the 1980's. They used to go to the beach together. Stewart says he has photos that could destroy Weiner's career, yuk yuk. Weiner responds that he has stuff too, yuk yuk. . . .


They go on to discuss Weiner's role in health care. Video

They end interview with more jokes about wearing no pants.

Told you it's a conspiracy.

There is no conspiracy.

[NoMoreLunacy]

Coverups will out.

It sounds like you might have done something to mess up the default character encoding on your browser, Marsha.

Make sure the character encoding in your browser is set to either Western (ISO-8859-1) or preferably to "Autodetect". I see no problems with any of the strings except the ones you've quoted. And the fact that it's happening on multiple websites for you almost certainly means that the problem is on your end.

[marshabar1]

No doubt.
