The "pound" sign

[dysfunction]

Why is the forum putting a ? in front of the ? sign all of a sudden.
Seems to do it for old posts as well!

edit: Now it's making the "pound" sign a question mark!

Test ?

Don't know mate but it just converted my pound sign into a questionmark

May be a problem with adsense as both my post and yours have strange google comment tags around them

<div id="post_message_3782508"> <!-- google_ad_section_start -->Test ?<!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div>

<div id="post_message_3772287"> <!-- google_ad_section_start -->That costs nearly £2k!<!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div>

This is a ?2 test.

Hmm, it is not adsense, that is now completely disabled.

Test ??????? - edit: wonder if it is a character set setting somewhere....

Fixed.

Excellent!! Thanks!

What broke then???

 

[Deebs]

I made a change on the MySQL server which shouldn't have affected anything but I also included a config value which basically told it to ignore what characters sets the clients wanted to use.

1? 2? 3?

Chump. Thread closed.

The ? are broken again, tried a different config and it hasn't worked. They will be back tomorrow at 5:20am once the server restarts. Ooops.
