It is caused by drafting it in a word processor and then pasting it into the forum. It is caused by in compatible fonts/encoding. Try changing to a different font. You can also try going to the tool bar View> encoding and change it to UTF-8 somtimes works.

I've been seeing that on quite a few posts too and have wondered what is wrong with their keyboards. I type my replies directly in the quick reply message box but I'm sure there are others who have much more to say than I and need to use a word processor like Jim said. Now I know its just an incompatibility thing.

Hi Willl- I also think it's a 'cut/paste' issue. Lately, though, after typing in the direct reply box, I'll get a 'security token violation' and all my (painfully slow) keyboarding is lost! I've started to type in 'Word', and paste. ~Scotty

It also happens now when you use the windows ALT codes for symbols, but it never used to before the change to vBulletin. Examples:

The degree symbol=ï½°
1/2=ï½½
