dog199200 Guest | API and  problem (22nd Jul 09 at 1:07am UTC) Resolved | | Ross; I though i'd mention that ever since you updated all the forums to v2 the API system is messed up. When it tried to call threads for some reason it keeps adding this  all over in the text as you can see here http://www.shiningashes.net I'm not the only one to notice it and its just how the API is calling the thread cause the Â's don't show up within the thread itself. I have noticed that that if you remove the spacing where the  's are they vanish, but that can't always be the case cause then the paragraphs begin to become crowded. Well sorry for the lack of info i'm not sure what could be wrong. | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | Re: API and  problem (22nd Jul 09 at 8:11am UTC) | | All pages on the forums, including the API, use UTF-8 character encoding. In order for special characters to appear properly on your site, your site should use UTF-8 too. The easiest way to do that is to ensure you have a proper "Content-Type" meta tag. Have at the source of this page to see what it should look like | |
