Strange characters showing on forum

[kh99]

It may be that you have those characters at the beginning of one of your php files, because that can happen when you use a word processing program to edit files (and whatever is in a php file that's before the <?php tag gets sent as output). This happens occasionally to people when they edit the config.php, So try checking your config.php with a programming editor like notepad++ (which you can download free).
