Attack of the ??????????

uhh... did I miss a memo that said we were all supposed to start inserting question marks throughout our posts/titles now... or is there a bug on the board atm?

Note: That "?" above is a real one - not a bug... repeat: not a bug.

I dont get the ? i get little boxes, but I think its only when quoted. That is what i have noticed at least.

That's vonkaar's fault. I'm going to fix it because apparently the apostrophe is being replaced by question marks. I've no idea why it's doing this.

font set? I know sometimes I have run into programs that use custom fonts that will make boxes or question marks or other gibberish instead of the character I was shooting for.

nah, it's really only showing up on old threads... something to do with the new server move. Corrupted database or something.

I see little diamonds with question marks in them. They are all over the board not just in threads.

I saw them all over my "If Democrats came clean" post that I made yesterday. It wasn't just apostrophes, I also saw them in place of commas and sometimes I don't know what they were replacing since it was just spaces.

I think it's a Democrat plot. I hope John Kerry will condemn this action along with me as the deplorable act it was.

:lol:

Fuck all the haters!!!

having gay sex will not fix the board sir :mrgreen:

Well... apparently it's an encoding problem... if you right click on the board and go down to encoding, and choose anything but the default one (try the ISO encoding) the ???? are gone.

That only works if I change it for every single thread and it doesn't stay.

Using Mozilla btw.

Alright, the problem is gone. leave me alone now!!
