I was literally having midnights about it. Since then I've dreaded any kind of encoding issues. (There are still some very old posts on there, that don't display properly from last time because I never got around to converting all them.)

Well, of course, if not many people need that, or if that imposes too much burden on the web server, implementing that mightn't be a good idea...

I'd like to add a comment to support Bazza and AuntySue. I don't know who made the original decision to move the Forum from its original site to the CPod site, but since that decision has been made, I think CPod is obliged to consider the Forum as much as any other element of the site when making changes. Moreover, CPod is run and maintained by paid staffers, while the Forum is run and maintained by volunteers--and Bazza, for one, has put in countless unpaid hours fixing this and that when things go wrong. Thank you, Ken and everyone at CPod, in advance for all you can do to get the Forum back running as it should, ASAP. Thanks for the tip, Yv, I’m not very tech-knowledgeable so that will help.

I noticed all the blogs were fixed within 24 hours. It seems the forum always gets the lowest of priorities whenever there's a problem beyond our control. AuntySue has a point.
