Related Error messages: � shows up after double spaces and certain line breaks.

I think this may be an issue with Character Sets, but I really have no clue.  If anyone can figure out why �'s keep on popping up please let me know whatever you can about it and how to fix it.

When I change my view to Western European encoding, the boxes poof. . . So I guess the next step is how to set the defaul to Western European.  Any suggestions?

What language is your forum set to? And what language files are you using?

slamulous

I have no language packs installed and my forums are set to UTF-8 I beleive.

If you have utf8 for your forum, you will have to use utf8 for the tinyportal aswell.
Dont know if this will help though as you seem to have the text showing in your TP admin panel ? but download the english utf8 package from our downloadsection, extract the files to your local PC and then through ftp, upload the extracted files to your forum/themes/default/languages folder and see if the text will be better.

Nope, no luck on it.  When I manually click on view in IE and go to encoding and switch that to Western European/Windows, it fixes it, but this is a manual change not a permanent one.

I don't know enough about encoding to be able to really help, but I did notice that it looks to be the non-breaking space -- & nbsp ; -- that is showing up as the square. Maybe that might give a clue?

Just an odd request but it seems to be version 1.1.2 SMF. Would that make a difference as we are some versions ahead of that?
