Something happened in your server move. I had a ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ in my name until I changed it in my profile. Now I see it all over the site. On the front page and in some of the posts. It's everywhere and it's driving me nuts!! ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ÃƒÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ lol.
yes..something with conversion that didn't convert some charachters properly. But since I discovered it a bit late - the database already was filled with new data, I have just left it.
lol this is prossbily because of phpmyadmin, happened to me when i moved server was something to do with collation settings i think.
Couldn't a simple SQL query be run to delete all the ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡ characters?
maybe..I will try it out.
Bloc, this is likely to be just an encodiing problem. Try changing this line in index.english.php -
$txt['lang_character_set'] = 'ISO-8859-1';
to this
$txt['lang_character_set'] = 'UTF-8';

I have done that now..thanks.
Didn't fix it unfortunately.. Perhaps try UTF8 instead of UTF-8 - more info here - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=41241.0
How about now?
seems to have fixed it i think...
Well, it's different ... and better I think. IchBin's got the TM back after his name and I can't see any garbage on the front page (but didn't notice it there before either). This post here - http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=679.0 - has still got (different) garbage when viewed with IE - but OK with FF.
FF recognizes the page as having UTF-8 encoding but IE says Western European (Windows).
This might be as good as we'll get, but I'll fiddle around and post back in a minute.
Checked a couple of long threads made before the move but couldn't see any garbage. Maybe when IchBin surfaces he'll know where to look. Tried editing this post - http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=679.msg5275#msg5275 - and it can be edited out. So if it's only in a few places we can clean it up manually.
Something tells me the UTF-8 encoding is not quite right yet coz IE should say UTF-8. But anyway, we'll see what IchBin says.
I'm now seeing squares where the characters used to be.
I think i have to go back to original encoding..but we can just edit posts where it shows really.
