Well, you can take a look at just about any of the things in the writing portfolio that are of a significant length.  (If you want, I shall return with a link to that one "Hobby" story that I did toward the beginning of my stint here.)  Basically, though, there seems to be an incompatability or some other little hiccup that is causing certain characters (such as Â) to appear in certain places, sometime in the stead of other characters (such as an em dash).  Most of the culprits seem to be those that were transferred in (via copy-paste) from external sources such as Word documents and other such word processors.  But for an example:

http://board.mysticalaura.com/index.php?topic=998.0
http://board.mysticalaura.com/index.php?topic=2999.0

It also seems to affect those things of an older mold, but it also doesn't seem to be wide spread.  I haven't done a detailed survey of how many posts have accrued this change, but this is what I have been able to deduce based on a limited sampling.

On mine, they were... other characters, but I'd already changed them.  It was kinda easy to spot, so yeh.  None of your weird A-hats appeared on mine.  O.o  Cool.

Thanks for pointing out the problem..but i'm not really sure what to advise aside from modifying that original post and copying/pasting into it a fresh copy of your story. Or you can go through it and modify each strange character individually.

That pretty much is the only remedy but I'm too lazy to care that much.  It takes far less energy to ignore those extraneous characters than it is to actually get rid of them.

its good that daybreak is back but it is sad to know that many of us has already left. >_< honestly, I left DF as well but I just came back last week. Smiley I mean when I said "I came back" tells that I began posting again. But over the year, I was like logging in and then logging out. But I wish DF would have changed theme. 0_0

We'd have to pressure Ruka, but she's busy, too.  xP  If I knew how to work it, I'd ask her.  But then... who's gonna make the layout?
