Could be a number of issues.

First try disabling all plugins/products via the config.php file edit and test on a default style.

If it works, then there is a conflict with a plugin or product. If it doesn't there is something wrong some where else.

so far disabling the products and plugins hasnt solved it... i guess Ill keep searching. Any other ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

i get this too but only in MGC Chatbox Evo itsdoing my head in

northwallace · #5 11-09-2008, 06:23 PM

my brain also does not feel good.... Why god Why!

...still working on it, def. not any plugin or product, or my header.

There is another section on vbulletin.com at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270014

no one else there has any solutions.

any advice would be most greatly appreciated.

I will check back after my next set of tests

Most likely, the database charset/collation that is set does not support that symbol properly.

any idea how I would tackle that..... you are saying that it is a server side modification that needs to be made and not changes within vbulletin?
