Okay, I gave that a try and it
worked. Weird! Thanks for letting me know how to fix it.

To me, it seems the issue is one of character
encoding. The browser expects the data to be
encoded as UTF-8, but it's actually being sent
as iso-8859-1. If you have Firefox, go to view
-> character encoding, and select western. The
page renders as it's supposed to.Â
That's not to say that the line breaks shouldn't
be there, but they've always been there.
Removing them will make most of the diamonds
disappear, but there are characters like the
apostrophes that still won't render correctly.Â
I'm not sure what could have changed to cause
this. Most likely the configurations for the web
server have changed so that now the server is
serving pages as UTF-8 where it use to be
serving them as iso-8859-1. Although, when I
look through the HTML, I see two separate meta
tags. The first sets the character set as
iso-8859-1, and the second changes it to UTF-8.
Removing that second meta tag might fix the
issue, but I don't have enough practical
experience with HTML to know for sure.Â

I've taken a look at the files. Apparently the
files were uploaded with line breaks where there
aren't suppose to. That's what is causing the
issues. To give a good example, when I'm looking
at the file, I'm seeing that instead of having
everything between the <p> </p> on the same
line, where you see the "?" is where there's a
line break in the file. It'll be a big task to
fix it all, do to the complexity.

I have a different issue with the Metamor Keep Archive.
It appears that a lot of the stories are
showing various special characters as diamonds
with "?" inside them. This is extremely
off-putting and renders stories difficult to
read. I suspect some of them are quote
characters, en-dashes, and so forth. This is
showing up with both FireFox and Safari. It
is especially bad in my story Inchoate Carillon, Inconstant Cuckold.Â
Somebody definitely ought to take a look into
that! It wasn't at all like this two weeks ago the last time I checked.

Hello!
Yes, that was merely a google custom search
page.ÃÂ I'm sure the syntax has changed
throughout the years.ÃÂ It looks like the
service is still offered, so it's probably
just a matter of setting up a new one.
<https://cse.google.com/cse/>https://cse.google.com/cse/
Regarding the domain, I do own and pay for
<http://metamorkeep.com>metamorkeep.com.ÃÂ
This is no big deal since it is a pittance,
however if someone else more active in the
community would like to take up ownership, I
certainly wouldn't have any problem with that
(I have like seven of these things
anyway).ÃÂ Whoever takes it would have to
promise to be super attentive and pay the bill
on time to avoid a <http://transform.to>transform.to situation though.ÃÂ ;)
Somewhat related--I actually have the domain
pointing to my nameservers before it goes to
Xepher.ÃÂ This gives us a little more
control in case people have their own sites or
blogs and want to use a subdomain or
something. E.g.
<http://mishablogsaboutmuffins.metamorkeep.com>mishablogsaboutmuffins.metamorkeep.com

The first problem Chris mentioned was a php
error. A variable, Counter, was being accessed
before it had been defined. I haven't run into
it, so it looks like whatever caused it has gone away for now.Ã
The second problem is that the search feature
provided by Google has stopped working. I
haven't been able to figure this one out. At
first glance, it appears there is a lot of
stuff in the search URL that shouldn't be
there, but even after deleting it and trying
to manually rerun it, the error persists. In
that case, the reason it failed might be that
the account that the search feature was tied
to has been deleted, but this is all
conjecture as I am totally unfamiliar with how
Google's custom search feature works.Ã
It might be worth it to ask Virmir about this
one as he set it up and might remember how to do it again.Ã
P.S. I find it funny that both Chris and my
test searches were related as we both searched for or respective species.Ã

I'm looking at the site, but I'm not seeing
anything wrong with it. I'm getting access to
it and everything. It may have been a slight
hiccup in the server engine. I'll still look
into it and see what might be the problem, but
it appears that whatever was happening was simply a connection error.
