ARGH! whats up with this forum, it keeps changing my text encoding!

[Stiler]

What the heck? i'm glad they finally got rid of the flashing WINNER ad's but for some reason now this site keeps changing my text encoding from normal western to Unicode (UTF-8). It gets really annoying because it makes things look a lot smaller espically the navigation bar.

ummm maybe it a setting in ie. this belongs in forums issues btw

Maybe you have a virus

it never did it til today, and its not my IE, all my other pages don't do it, just on here.

 

[Beau]

You don't have IE set to auto-select under encoding do you? It looks as though the forum pages don't declare which encoding it is, so the page won't be doing it.

 

[Stiler]

no i don't have it to auto select, it never did this til just like an hour ago , i did virus scan and found no virus's or nothing, and its just this one page, it doesn't do it on any other ones.

<the brain> Our master plan is working, Pinky!!! We are taking over the world one browser at a time! HAHAHAHAHA! </the brain>

Seriously though, I don't know what to tell you other than put it over in forum issues for Zuni to look at.

This has nothing to do with the forums people, nothing, absolutely nothing has been touched in months.

That's what I was thinking.

it does at as soon as i go to another section, like after i change it back to western, as long as i stay in off topic it stays that, but when i go to fs/ft or somewhere it switches to uni code for some reason, didn't start this until today, anyway i can make IE lock the text encoding?

 

[jamesbond007]

Same problem here, too. The Navigation menu text becomes very small. I can guarentee you it's not me. It does this on my laptop as well.

Maybe our IE6's updated themselves and are fubared?

UPDATE!!
Ok, I posted a pic. http://www.geocities.com/twiggy9560/utf8.jpg I am not linking this picture because GeoCities doesn't allow direct links to pictures.

It seems to change only when I enter the main Off Topic and FS/FT pages. Then it goes back to normal.
