Subject: Misdisplayed characters

Written By: Rex on 10/27/07 at 9:59 am

Hi Chucky,

I've noticed on some of my parodies that characters such as hyphens and apostrophes are appearing as question marks. Is there a script you can run to convert those characters back? Or is the only option to have you delete those parodies and re-post them?

it's Microsoft Word's fault. the posting script should be filtering these, but clearly it's missing a few (unless these are from a few months ago).  Give me a couple URLs and I'll try and fix them on everyone's parodies, though I might not be able to.  maybe I can also duplicate that problem and write something to prevent it in the future.
