Currencies coming out wrong on initial posts

mrcheez · 2017-06-14 10:32:39

This is an ongoing problem that seems to have started about 6 months ago. This is on the non-responsive site. Entering sterling symbol comes out as: â‚¬ Entering euro symbol comes out as some other garbage. Any likelihood of a fix? It's a particular pain on forums where you constantly write currencies like Bargain Alerts.

This turned into a more complicated issue than first anticipated, so it's taking a little longer than we would have liked/expected. Hopefully a fix will be pushed live soon enough.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

This is a known issue, with a fix being worked on already.
