OK, I'm finding more problems as things go along...

I went thru some older posts - made and untouched from a year ago and longer - and ones that looked good then, now have weird characters replacing quote marks and other punctuation marks.

(now using 10.3)

The reason for this is that you would have been using a different page encoding under these older posts.

You can change the page encoding from your control panel which would fix the issue for these older posts, however, if you have been posting new posts under a new page encoding then these could get messed up when changing the page encoding.

Either utf-8 or iso-8859-1
