Hi All,

I've looked on the forums and didn't see anything about this but I can't be the only one that is seeing this problem.

Anotherealm.com is the site if you want to see the problem in action.

My website publishes short science fiction stories from the general public from all over the world. Meaning many different language/character sets in windows.

Now for the problem(s) "Smart Quotes" created by Mr. Bill Gates and in use in all versions of Windows and supported by "Notepad" "Word" and all his email programs.

When I upload new stories to the website I get different views with different browsers. Such as /? or ? or god only knows what instead of " or , or ' or any number of other symbols.

Sadly I know almost nothing about PHP so this is just frustrating me out of my mind. Is there any way to make a global configuration change to get rid of this problem?

TIA

Hi,

I have an odd question. I'm trying to update my site to the XOOPS format and have run into a problem with how the site is rendered. This problem happens with both IE and Firefox.

When not loged in the " and ' appear as ?. When logged in they show up correctly. Some users are getting little boxes instead. I do have international readers and they do use different character sets and keyboard layouts. One user reported this problem running Konqurer/Red Hat.

I also seem to be having some unicode problems as not all articles display properly. I've tried the standard HTML kinda fixes. I changed the main theme templete to use UTF-8, better, but still not right.

Anybody got a clue why this is happening?
