Punctuation (too many ?s)

December 11th, 2005, 1:09 pm

James –Recently I noticed that some posts have question marks substituted for other punctuation. For example, see the post Tue Nov 08, 05 03:49 PM on the thread http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm? ... adid=33054. The ? substitution did not occur when the post was originally made. Is this a problem or is this just my computer acting up?---------

James –The ? substitution for other punctuation is pretty distracting, and the substitution is in a number of posts. Is there a possibility of fixing this problem?------

We are looking at this, but it our problem is knowing not only the cause, but what the original characters are. Please bear with us.
