In case you wondered why chorrol was down, both harddrives in the server had died. It was lucky I could get back anything at all, not to mention this quickly.

My thanks go to the support of our webhoster who worked miracles, and to my girlfriend who had to suffer through agonizing hours of me cursing my lungs out.

Oh well. More and better backups next time, I guess.

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!
