Forum updated to UTF-8

<< < (2/3) > >>

MagnetJuice:
I noticed this problem:

Here is some text from a recent thread:

This is why Adriaan is not enthusiastic about VAWT's, he is showing us that he's literally done the research into all the most promising units he could find, and none have suggested promise.    It's a bit surprising that he's willing to continue to comment on this forum as it must be frustrating to watch people tilt at windmills he knocked over years ago.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Here are the words that are messed-up:

VAWT's - he's - it's

It seems that happens when the text is copied from MS-WORD and posted to the Forum.

I don't remember that happening before the UTF-8 update.

I hope that this can be corrected.

TechAdmin:
That's... Not something I can control if people use outdated fonts outside of the forum and then copy/paste from them into utf8. I can do a workaround and add (EDIT: yeah, can't type it anymore) as censored word, turning it into "'" but that's about it really.

JW:
There is a work around. When I insert text I use Wordpad, it works because there is no subscription but it is still a "rich text"

If that doesn't  work use notepad its what I do and you would be surprised how this works to not lock out text. So using notepad is completely compatible with UTF-8

TechAdmin:
That's very true indeed :)
Also, go read me on skype already please.

JW:
Thanks Flavio, the characters look great!

Can you give me a little tutorial on how to insert the characters (on skype  :)
