How to get rid of the Squiggles etc in Postings

14 years ago

I'm stealing this advice from Cynic. He advised how to set our computers so that we can read messages without having to fight around the question marks, diamonds and squiggles that we see on some postings.

It happens when we cut and paste, and when previewing we have to remove the funny blurbs and manually type in the corrections. Fractions and apostrophes are common problems.

But I'm blabbing.....so go to your Options or View tab (depending on the browser). Go to Encoding, and click Uni_8.

The changes will be made immediately.

With Chrome, we have to click on the wrench, Tools Encoding and Uni_8.

***You have to do this at each forum you use at Garden Web. It's not a blanket fix.***
