Why on Earth is this stuck all the way back in 1997? Wouldn't UTF-8 be more appropriate? Could changing it to UTF-8 even fix our current accent woes? Or given that it's generated, might it be an issue where UTF-8 would need to go on the server?



Edit: Let me just be clear that these are all serious questions. I'd never even heard of the current standard and had to wiki it. I'm suggesting UTF-8 because that's what I was taught to use and that it's apparently the default for pretty much everything. On the other hand, I'm a programmer, not a network specialist, so I just know how to write things for existing systems, not how to get a server up and running.

I'm gone from here for good. This place gave me many memories to take with me and shaped me greatly. I still care about you guys. I just can't stay.

UTF-8 is already on the server, I will look into messing around with the header there.

Double post because I'm a jackass:

I never thought I'd say this, but, well done bluesy. That was our problem. Looks like unrecognized characters such as é, «, ª, ¬ blah blah should work properly now.

Whoa, nice catch there blues... my next LP update will probably be thanking your good eye... as it had a few oddball characters in it. Unfortunately, that probably won't be up until tomorrow... but thanks, blues and shiney.

As an aside: Is there any particular reason the stylesheet isn't being linked to, and instead sitting on top of every page?

On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry.

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

So someone promote me to admin and I'll fix it. :P
Just kidding, of course. If it's really a problem, I can take a look at the page source if someone gets it to me.

It's how vBulletin generates pages. It pulls the style information and generates it on each page when a client asks for one while also pulling the relevant information (posts, user info, etc.) from the database. The themes for a forum engine such as vBulletin define these styles and can be modified similar to using a separate CSS, so while it looks cluttered when viewing the source the actual handling of it is more or less the same.



I honestly thought when the accent issue was first brought up we knew to be looking at the character encoding. Whelp.
