Title: Strange...
Post by: Tangential on May 06, 2007, 04:15:53 AM
Everytime I post on the forums, or rather when I click to reply or start a new thread, the Post box is pre-filled with hundreds of "Ã'˜"s. It's quite odd. I have to delete them before typing anything. Several notes of interest: quick reply boxes are not thusly filled. I don't have this problem on other forums or when typing in other places. And after checking on a friends computer, it's not on my PCs end (so it's probably either the forums or my account).

Am I alone in this strange world? Does anything mean anything anymore? *warble*

I don't get any N's, you must be losing your mind.

No N's here either, and I posted this with the button, and not a quick reply, just to check.  Maybe you're finally going mad like the rest of us? ;)

How'd you get that cool little ~ over the N?


You should count the N's, just to see how many you actually get. That'd be funny.

That is definitely odd.  Of course, you could just leave the "N's" in there, and it would become somewhat of a signature - albeit, and annoying one ;)

What browser are you using (including version), what operating system are you using, and what is your system's default language? If you don't tell me that, there's no way i can help. ;)

Firefox 2.0.0.3, Windows XP (regrettably I need it to feed my WoW addiction or I'd use Ubuntu), and English.

I may just leave (and edited version of) them in the future if it doesn't become fixed. And I checked with someone else in the room just now, I'm not crazy.

I'll count next time and for Corn it's a tilde above an N. It usually represents a  palatal nasal consonant in most "Romance" languages. Finally I looked it up and on an English language keyboard you have to use Unicode with 223F is the suffix.

I'd like to take the time to point out that you create fictional worlds as a hobby.
