I get that too (with Firefox). If you change your Character Encoding from Unicode to Western, the gobbledy-gook symbols will all vanish. In Firefox go to your Menu Bar -> View -> Character Encoding -> Western.


Thank you. That worked and fixed the page I was viewing. I navigated away from the page, came back and the problem returned. I figured out that is because as soon as I navigate away from the page, Firefox bumps the setting from Western right back to Unicode. Do you know a way to make it stay on Western after I change it instead of returning to Unicode?

I cannot get it to stay either. It looks like it is just the way Firefox is built. I think it supposed to automatically detect the right character set. But for some reason it isn't working.

Oh well, at least it is nice to know I wasn't missing something simple. wacko.gif At least temporarily dumping those symbols is way better than nothing.

Thanks, SubRosa. You are quite simply amazing at knowing about all this stuff. Hug_emoticon.gif

Yes, thank you SubRosa; because I thought it was an Operating System language issue where the repaired or new server needed conversion to read the old files - would never have guessed it was encrypting.

And thank Starge again for fixing it to begin with! It is darn right lonely when this place is down!
