Odd characters in admin block

I just moved my entire site to a new host, and I'm pretty sure the admin block did NOT have the extra stuff in it before that. I added Nuke Sentinel, and Approve Membership blocks fairly recently too. Has anyone seen this happen before?

thats just the block modules that shows the inactive modules....
nothing weird about that.

I think he's talking about the "A" special character in the list, not the list itself from the title...

Never seen it that happen before, and its odd since the bullets for the rest of the module are working fine...

If you are talking about the "A's", then I believe it's a character set issue when the database was transferred. You can go into your admin panel, blocks administration, and edit that block and fix those crazy A's.

Yes, Gremmie, is right. It happens to me everytime that I transfer a database... Sad

Ah, never had to transfer a database (lucky me...something else to look forward to someday!)... :clap:

That was way too easy.... Razz

I had been digging around in the php files trying to find code for that block, and not having much luck. Shocked

Thank you very much, that did the trick.

This is the third time for me. Cheap web hosting sucks!! The site I just switched to seems very good though, it's twice as fast as the last one, which is still rated #1 at many of the bogus review sites. I think the best sites are kept under wraps by the people using them because they don't want them to get oversold and turned to crap. Twisted Evil
