Degree Symbol?

[Baby Grand]

I use 32[degF] ... or 0[degC] for my friends to the north.
I can never remember those alt keystroke combinations.

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. I do a good bit of technical writing so many of the "Alt +" codes are in my head and second nature.

Okay, I turned on the number lock, and with alt 0176 trick. It produces a degree symbol, as many other cut and paste attempts do. However when I post it, I get this: ｰ

Deleting the 1 1/2 part is futile, it just returns when I post it.

Same here. But this is the only site that happens to even though other sites I visit use same BBS software.

Glad it's not just me then.

Yep, looks good when writing it, but looks bad when it is posted.. I deleted the post.

The new version of vBulletin does not like most of the alt codes, the * is what I use...

If you are using a full keyboard: Alt + 0176 (on the number pad).

Use alt + 248 on the keypad. It makes the ｰ and saves a button press

Interesting, looked fine when writing the post. I see what you guys mean...it changes it after you post it. Using opera's browser myself.
