Nick, I see a very strange symbol in the subject of this thread: http://www.skincell.org/yabbse/index.php/topic,18095.msg233955.html#msg233955

It probably is replacing something else, but I can't remember what it was.  Does the new server not handle some characters?  I had this problem at work with a program that substituted ? for a lot of punctuation and a strange asian-language-looking character for an accented "e".

Or is this just my browser or something?  Is anyone else seeing it?

Hi TF,

I'm seing it too. It's normally due to using "copy and paste" and then importing between database architectures.
I should be able to get that resolved.

Hi Tf, yes I can see them all over the threads, on the poetry thread, just everywhere.

Thanks for that guys.

I think I have tracked down the ones in the topics and sorted them out, but if you do spot any others can you post a link to the topic and I will sort it out Smiley
