All of a sudden were noticing a lot of the text content on our site is showing up weird. The comma's & quotations are displaying as weird characters... and line breaks are showing up with weird characters also.

We haven't changed anything on our site so it's weird that it would just start to show up like that.

I added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> to the header.asp to help make them go away... but how could this happen all of a sudden? Is it possibly something with IIS6 that could cause this?

Any thoughts/ideas?

Yes. Please call me. We recently dealt with this. I'd like to discuss it briefly on the phone please.

Since we did that tweak... everything went back to normal. So I put the file back the way it was without commenting out that line... and so far the problem has not come back.
