GBP Symbol not showing? ££ $$ ££
« on: November 20, 2011, 04:12:32 PM »
I know it isn`t a biggy, but since the move I`ve noticed the ££ GBP symbol isn`t working. Or at least it appears to me as a square. Is everyone else seeing the same thing or is it just me?

Like I say, it isn`t the end of the world but if it is an easy fix ...

Wierd, you can see it on the main forum pages in the title but when you enter the post, they turn to squares.

Looks fine here Chris, I'm afraid to say... I also wish I had many more ££££ than I actually have...
Cheers!

OK... must be me or are you getting the same thing Eric?

Strange though, it worked fine, using the same issue and just sneaked a £ symbol on another forum post I made elsewhere and it was fine. Definately something not right...

anyway, like I keep saying...hardly the problem of the year!

Just switch over to FireFox and I can see them fine!

It looks to be an I.E issue then.

This is strange. on Mozilla Firefox the £ symbol shows up OK. If I paste the page address into Internet Explorer 8 I get square boxes instead of £.

Now for the other strange part. In Mozilla Firefox if I click on a YouTube video to go to YouTube it goes there but will not play the video and all videos have a description but no picture. See 1st picture below.

Still in Mozilla Firefox, go to the bottom of the page to where it says "Load More Suggestions". Notice only descriptions but no pictures. See 2nd picture below.

Now click on "Load More Suggestions" and this is what you get. The pictures show up for the newly opened part of the page but not the original page. See 3rd picture below.

If I paste the page address into Internet Explorer 8 the video plays and all the pictures show up as they should. I have only noticed this happening today. At first I thought that it was my computer but after hearing of others having various video problems I am not sure what the problem is.

Does anyone else have similar problems or is this all mine?

Cheers  :beer:

I should add to my earlier comment....

It works fine here - in Opera... When I tried IE8 - guess what? Square boxes, just as Chris described.

Could it be the combination of IE8 on XP?

Maybe...
Cheers!
