text encoding seems a bit odd?
« on: November 26, 2009, 11:19:05 pm »
some older posts appear to have morphed with what looks like an encoding issue.

it’s

where the apostrophe "'" is replaced by "’"

i noticed that ... strange 'cos the encoding is fine within the html...

Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

It's only affects some old posts and was caused by the database not originally being in UTF-8.  :happy2:
