I had figured out what cause the problem. Remember couple days back I was having problem with garbage text and this "???" character?. Now I realize the font setting both in the Database & the Admin Section can be a pain if not set correctly. I am not blaming for snitz but for myself for viewing the MS Access Database in English version under Chinese operating system (perhaps I am the only one do such thing?). The MS Access in my computer set to BIG5 (a typical chinese font) and the forum wrote the database in Areal font setting. So when I d/l and open it myself and was "whoa~~", at first I believe it's has to do with server's issue. Then I figure out by studying different upload methods until I found out that how Snitz manipulates the font code into database. So I think maybe next time when other ppl for example (dutsch, turkish, so on) sees this "???" text all over, you bet it's one of the font bug making database corrupted (well.....not likly, but kind of scary once you open the database ) but anyway, it's a good experience for me and it's a pleasure to learn from mistake too.<
and now I have to decide which font setting should I store my forum? hmm.... The other chinese forum I visited seems don't have the problem I got, so I assume he is using Areal as well, I might try using BIG5 someday to see if's working, cause I ran into another trouble now that my computer's snitz won't manipulate the Areal garbage into chinese and I have to do something about it. <
