Fixed it.
I went into my admin and simply pasted
ISO-8859-1
in my
HTML Character Set
This is the value of the 'charset' attribute for the HTML content type setting in the 'headinclude' template.<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
For some reason, this was missing in my board.
A developer at vbulletin.com said this has happened a few times now.
My installed hacks include the
arcade hack and the
new user welcome PM. Maybe something along the lines fudged it up.
So for anyone considering this hack, its a great hack and no worries.
Hope it goes smoothly for you.
Many thanks
