i have added paypal buttons on my site and all works great. I added a paypal button in an article with a drop down option but paypal are giving me errors because weird text is appearing before the £ sign?? its a weird A type sign. This is stopping the button working?
I have searched SMF & TP but I can't see anything.
Any help?
Try using :
£
To show the pound sign.
its coming up Ã,£15
What code are you using, could you post it here. using the [code]code here[/code] tags
Or try £ which is the HTML Number for the £ sign

Did you try turning off the editor as Les suggested above? Tinyportal / Article settings / Use the WYSIWYG editor. yes / no.
The editor has been known to cause problems. ;)
nope every time I create a HTML article and use the £ this is what it ends up looking like on the live article. Ã,£
sorry I don't know if I am allowed to post the link to another site that has the soloution but I don't know how to change the editor settings?

What language and character set are you using on your forum? Also, what is your database character set?
Hi Ichbin
* Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
* Server version: 5.0.91-community
* Protocol version: 10
* User: *******@localhost
* MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
I am using English on the forum. I don't know where to find the character set in the smf admin?
Sorry I just found this post. I will come up with another solution for now. Thanks for a great portal. O0

Hi just to let you know I run
1.1.13 smf & 1.0RC1
I sorted the issue by converting the Database & Data to UTF-8 via the Admin CP . Remember to select it from the drop down box. :-\ O0

Awesome. Glad that fixed it for you.
