What do you see here:

££££££££££££££££££££££££££

(They’re supposed to be pound signs…)

Isn’t that something to do with text encoding? :/

It’s not even all pages with pound signs, just some of them. And strangely enough, it doesn’t work the other way around. I mean, Therapy? haven’t become Therapy£.

I wasn’t being evil, they really are/were pound signs (but in your quote box they’ve gone… odd)

Can’t help you, I’m afraid. Have you checked your character encoding settings, though? I don’t want to mess with mine, but since it’s the character’s that are fucking up, it seems liek a place to start.

you might not have the correct font installed on your computer. ask teethgrinder what fonts ya need. sometimes when a webpage has a font that isn’t on ur system, it replaces it with another similar. this process for some reason throws up strange symbol occurances when really it shouldn’t. i blame microsoft as usual.
