Anyone Getting Jumbled Text in these Forums?

Hey everyone, is anyone getting problems with jumbled up text and bad character coding like in this example? The example is taken from the general gaming forum, but I' m not getting this problem so is anyone else?

Please reply here if this is the same in your browser...

I have looked into it and the problem seams to be that the text is sent using UTF-8 encoding but the header nor the document states this, some browsers (IE 5.5, Netscape among others) makes an educated guess upon this whereas others (Safari, IE 5.0 among others) goes for what the w3 consortium says should be done which is ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding.

Content-type HTTP header Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8, or adding:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=" Content-Type"  CONTENT=" text/html; charset=UTF-8" >

the the pages should sort out the problem.

Or otherwise one could use the HTML character reference entities present for representing characters, quite interesting if ASP' s server.HTMLEncode is not able to produce correct character encodings though.

I have not encountered these problems thusfar.

No I' ve not had any of those problems yet. The main site does seem to load rather slowly though.

I had the slwo loading in the beginning, but I also haven' t encountered that for a while now. It is as fast as any other forum now. On my PC that is.

Agreed. Vaios blow.

The main site does a take awhile to load sometimes, as do the forums. It' s a temperamental thing I find. Or your coding' s *whack*. One or the other...

Not that my coding' s that much better mind...

Can we embed flash files in the forum?
