I’ve been seeing them too...for several days now. I’m using a Mac with Safari...I thought it was only me.

? What? you? Mean??????????????????????????????????

[svcw]

Yep, know what you mean.
Also some sentences are just gobble gook symbols.
Some reason about half the time I am getting server not responding, when trying to refresh the page.
Its been going on about three days.

I’m also a FF user, and have been seeing it too.

Before we catch any hell from the 3 dedicated IE users out there, I’d still rather see the occasional graphical anomaly on FR than to fear being loaded up with malware with every click of the mouse on the internet.

[Uriah_lost]

Are you logged in?

[shibumi]

We’?>re D@@m&D

[EternalVigilance]

I use Firefox and I’ve been getting these interesting little symbols, too.

In the great scheme of things, not earth-shattering.

But certainly worth mentioning as the bugs get worked out of the changes that are going on.

"I'm seeing question marks"



I see dead people.

[KittyKares]

I see them when I use my Netscape browser, but not when I use Internet Explorer. A Microsoft plot?

It’s a character encoding problem.

My Firefox was on the default character encoding setting of “Western (ISO 8859-1)”.

I changed it to “Unicode UTF-16 (Big Endian)” and it fixed the quotes around that “The Chair” headline.

Don’t ask me what the heck “Big Endian” is because I don’t know, or what effect setting it to Unicode might have on other things, ‘cause I don’t know that either. So far it seems to be OK though.

[higgmeister]

Wow! I switched over to Opera and now I see it to! Glad I use MS IE7!

[2ndDivisionVet]

I like ice cream.

[bad company]

?No? problems? here?.

[higgmeister]

Can you change Friedfox to emulate MSIE 6 or 7?

"I see question marks."

[Zeppo]

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

[Bronzewound]

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

View > Text Encoding > Western (ISO Latin 1)

Solved the problem for me.

I thought FR was being taken over by this guy

[Lancey Howard]

Yes, I’ve been seeing a lot of ?s also. They seem to show up where there should be a ‘.

I run Windows XP on a Dell.

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.
