It could also have something to do with how the files were built and
uploaded. Anyways, there's a nice extension for Firefox that allows
you to force the browser to display in a specific encoding. The
extension is called Charset Switcher.<br>

<div>I'm not sure what could have changed to cause
this. Most likely the configurations for the web
server have changed so that now the server is
serving pages as UTF-8 where it use to be serving
them as iso-8859-1. Although, when I look through
the HTML, I see two separate meta tags. The first
sets the character set as iso-8859-1, and the
second changes it to UTF-8. Removing that second
meta tag might fix the issue, but I don't have
enough practical experience with HTML to know for
sure. </div>

Apparently the files were uploaded with line
breaks where there aren't suppose to. That's
what is causing the issues. To give a good
example, when I'm looking at the file, I'm
seeing that instead of having everything
between the <p> </p> on the same
line, where you see the "?" is where there's a
line break in the file. It'll be a big task to
fix it all, do to the complexity. </span>

It appears that a lot of the stories are
showing various special characters as
diamonds with "?" inside them. This is
extremely off-putting and renders
stories difficult to read. I suspect
some of them are quote characters,
en-dashes, and so forth. This is
showing up with both FireFox and
Safari. It is especially bad in my
story Inchoate Carillon, Inconstant

Yes, that was merely a google custom
search page. I'm sure the syntax has
changed throughout the years. It
looks like the service is still
offered, so it's probably just a
matter of setting up a new one. <a

Regarding the domain, I do own and pay
for <a moz-do-not-send="true"

This is no big deal since it is a
pittance, however if someone else more
active in the community would like to
take up ownership, I certainly
wouldn't have any problem with that (I
have like seven of these things
anyway). Whoever takes it would have
to promise to be super attentive and
pay the bill on time to avoid a <a

situation though. ;)<br>
<br>
Somewhat related--I actually have the
domain pointing to my nameservers
before it goes to Xepher. This gives
us a little more control in case
people have their own sites or blogs
and want to use a subdomain or
something. E.g. <a

mishablogsaboutmuffins.metamorkeep.com</a><br>

<dd>The first problem Chris
mentioned was a php error. A
variable, Counter, was being
accessed before it had been
defined. I haven't run into it,
so it looks like whatever caused
it has gone away for now. <br>
<br>
</dd>
<dd>The second problem is that the
search feature provided by
Google has stopped working. I
haven't been able to figure this
one out. At first glance, it
appears there is a lot of stuff
in the search URL that shouldn't
be there, but even after
deleting it and trying to
manually rerun it, the error
persists. In that case, the
reason it failed might be that
the account that the search
feature was tied to has been
deleted, but this is all
conjecture as I am totally
unfamiliar with how Google's
custom search feature works. <br>

<dd>It might be worth it to ask
Virmir about this one as he set
it up and might remember how to
do it again. <br>

<dd>P.S. I find it funny that both
Chris and my test searches were
related as we both searched for
or respective species. <br>

It may have been a slight

I'll still look into it and
see what might be the
problem, but it appears that
whatever was happening was
simply a connection error. <br>
