I'm seeing question marks

Posted on 04/03/2008 9:28:16 PM PDT by Dumpster Baby

I'm seeing a lot of question marks inside a black box, when apostrophes and quotation marks are in some of the text. Is this something with my Firefox browser or is it FR?

Can you change Friedfox to emulate MSIE 6 or 7?

It probably just means that you need to have your Appendix Removed Through Vagina

Been seeing the same for a few days now. Mac/Safari. Try:

View > Text Encoding > Western (ISO Latin 1)

Solved the problem for me.

The ‘search’ mechanism is broken, fyi. It doesn’t work to find “users” - - the mechanism converts those searches to “title”. So, for example, if I try to find posts by John Robinson, I can’t. However, if I try, I might find threads with “John Robinson” in the title.

Thanks.

It's not that easy for me. I've got the night crew storming the patch panels trying to get it right.

Same here, it’s an encoding problem with the site more than likely.

Dang - all I see are little squares. But I'm on a DoD computer...I'll see the quesiton socks a little later when I'm on Normal Network.

The DoD does not want us to see question socks.
