I know this is a minor issue but it keeps bugging me smile

By default I have my browser's (Google Chrome) set to UTF-8. All pages on the forum work fine apart from http://pistonheads.com/gassing/ on which I get the following:



(Note the question marks).

Some quick research reveals that on most pages the the content type is returned as "text/html; Charset=iso-8859-1" where as on http://pistonheads.com/gassing/ it's returned as just "text/html" so the browser is expecting UTF-8 but it looks like the server is returning iso-8859-1

This is a similar issue to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5445137/utf-8-e...


To replicate just go to http://pistonheads.com/gassing/ in Chrome then under the "View" menu (or "Tools" on Linux) select "Encoding" and set it to UTF-8.



Apologies for the typo in the topic.

I used to use pistonheads.com, but when I clicked on the Genral Gassing tab on my browser yesterday, I got redirected to www.pistonheads.com.
