Hi,
I have a forum setup and whenever I post an amount, for example £3.49 then the £ sign disappears. I have done a search but has anyone had this problem before?
Cheers.
Patrick

Hi,
I have tried this and it still takes the pound sign out of the reply/thread.

It's probably to do with the locale settings on the server, and if you have changed the page encoding within the forum. Check with your web host that the servers locale is set to UK, if you host in a different country or use 1&1 then your locale settings will not be set to UK. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
