I just saw the story I posted, Experiments II, and all the quotation marks and apostrophes have been replaced with missing symbol symbols.

What gives? It sort of mars the whole story . . .

You are apparently viewing in character set "unicode UTF 8". Switch to "Western Windows 1252" or "ISO 8859-1" and you won't have this problem.

Whatever character set you used also made the RSS Feed Generator angry, too...

So try the switch.

Excllent!

How? lol

I use Firefox . . . where do I go to change said settings . . .?

Thanx, Mr. Paolo

Me

View->Encoding->

Or you can change the preferred order of encodings in

about:config, but firefox changed a bit since I last was there... so I'm not sure, which one of settings to change.

Wow. Fhunter. Yur hawt! lol

Eh, so I changed the encoding. Restarted Firefox - still see the little missing symbol symbols. Ah well. I guess I don't have to read my own stories that much. I can live with it, I guess.

Thanx anyways!

Cheers

Go into your Firefox options, under TOOLS.

You can set the default encoding there.

Wow. Fhunter. Yur hawt! lol

thanks. (haven't found blushing smilie).

It's for one page, before reload (this setting is not saved after restart). Used it a lot - there is a whole zoo of russian encodings on the web (I know 3 actively used, not counting unicode), and lots of improperly configured servers.

Paolo mentioned global solution.

I just noticed that while my Firefox default is Western Windows 1252 in my TOOLS-OPTIONS settings, it does change depending on the pages I hit. I have found, however, that 1252 will almost always get rid of the oddball characters.
