Carrie Moon 68826 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 check your keyboard setting in the bar on the bottom of your screen.. not sure but sometimes mine switches from english to another setting. Maybe that's it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutau 2516 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 That is not it Carrie. My messages have been doing the same thing. Accented letters being replaced by other symbols. I will send a note to MOD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted December 25, 2010 interesting... I will look into it. I am not sure what it could be. I wonder if the database or server has some sort of character set encode. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Royalfun 55448 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 Having written a few recs in French, I am disappointed by th? replacement of th? accents by th? codes. It's probably related to th? new server.

Carrie Moon 68826 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 I had the exact opposite problem today.. but not just in cerb. When I'd put a ? or / I would get ?.. because it was set to Canadian multilingual standard instead of United States international. Funny how it happened the day after posting on here. The law of attraction! whatever you focus on happens. Additional Comments: I had the exact opposite problem today.. but not just in cerb.

I think this poster was just living up to his name. Kind of out of place on this forum however. I believe WIT gracefully provided the appropriate response.
