I know it's asked before, but I can't find the answer again.
So é & other special characters are displayed like; � or éé!

How can I fix it? I think I have this problem because I installed another style.

Well this has been a problem with the old RA script, and the only solution I can say at this moment is to avoid using special characters. And nope, it has nothing to do with styles.

But I'm using now the newest version of Mysidia :S?

umm are you saying the problem did not occur with the old Rusnak adoptables script or earlier version of Mysidia Adoptables? If so, thats indeed a bit strange.

Make sure in your theme's template.htm

It has these in the heading:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

This part right here turns the symbols into what you want:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

The rest is just xhtml tags and are important.

Uhm I re-installed the whole script, all the mods, all styles and it's back.
I changed the template.htm to what you said Inf3rnal :S

The weird thing is; Special characters are showing in the titlebar, but not in the 'content of the page'.

Help please :S?

Thanks anyway.
