Oh wait, it updated finally. I deleted the other image from gravatar completely and then gave it a day.

I’ve had no problems posting comments, either.

I almost feel like I should apologize for that, however…

Well, it’s about time you did.

I keed, I keed!

Heh, guess I’m stuck with my snowy ’57 for a while.

I haven’t seen a ’57 from you at all. Some guy with a beard and Mila Jovovich’s hair.

Yeah that seems to be a bug from Gravatar. I tried to change mine months ago and its not “taking”.

Hm, I updated my icon on gravatar but it’s not updating here. Maybe it takes a couple of hours for the changes to seed throughout the internet orchard.

I changed the default web page font in IE7 to Arial Unicode. That seems to have fixed the problem for me.

I did this by going to Tools/Internet Options and choosing the Fonts button. In the window on the left, I changed the default webpage font to Arial Unicode MS, then clicked OK.

I closed and restarted IE7. Seems to be OK now.

It’s something to do with character encoding, but that’s only my guess.

One more test?

So I did something on my end with quotes and comments, and that might fix things. Let me know (should work on posts after 5:40pm est today).

Sorry, Quaker — I said it first, but then edited it out for poor phrasing and forgot to put the reference back in. Firefox 3, on Windows XP SP2.

I avoid IE as much as possible.

Mr. Tea, what browser are you using?

Aha! Now when I return to IE7, I see the pasted text, but the apostrophes are replaced with a string of odd characters: an a with a mark above it, a euro sign, a trademark superscript.

I’m using IE6.

Is it an IE7 thing?

Has anyone had this problem who is NOT using IE7?

When I look at the apostrophes in the comments, they appear as slanted apostrophes. After I cut and paste them, if I retype the apostrophes and quote marks as straight-up-and-down characters, there’s no problem. It’s something to do with character encoding, but that’s only my guess.
