All right, I'm on netscape 4.7, on a macintosh. Is this the reason everything I post ends with weird symbols?

No offence, but why do you use such an ancient browser? If you have an older Mac, try Opera or another browser more friendlier to standards. It's 5 years old, it's time to upgrade.

no offense taken; it's not my computer. any mucking around with it could potentially be spotted by the boss....hË?

hidden characters are no longer hidden, as the new database connector doesn't like them. I'll try to get to the bottom of this, but I've got two dozen other bugs to fix.

It's like you have hiccups.

in case it helps, this is from nn4.7 on windows 2000.

By upgrading the browser, you're doing the boss a favor.
