Funny Characters
Aug 5th, 2008 by John Goodell
Well, we think we’ve solved it this time.
Recently, we’ve heard from many of you about funny characters appearing in your messages - especially when content was copied and pasted from other programs (eh hem…Microsoft). Last year, we launched the addition of the “Paste of Word” feature on our editor that cleaned up proprietary code created by Microsoft programs. That worked for many of you, but others have continued to see some funny business going on…
Now, we’ve changed the way our database stores information in your message body (for those techies….from latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci) and we think that’s done it!
If you see strange characters creeping into your messages, drop us a line so we can determine the source. Otherwise, enjoy a ‘funny-character-free’ ChurchPost experience!
We LOVE your feedback - keep your comments, questions and suggestions coming!
