The charset attribute specifies the character encoding used by the document. This is a character encoding declaration. If the attribute is present, its value must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for the string "utf-8".
The Encoding standard requires use of the UTF-8 character encoding and requires use of the "utf-8" encoding label to identify it. Those requirements necessitate that the document's character encoding declaration, if it exists, specifies an encoding label using an ASCII case-insensitive match for "utf-8". Regardless of whether a character encoding declaration is present or not, the actual character encoding used to encode the document must be UTF-8.Which just leaves me wondering what the heck? Why bothering adding a new way of specifying the character encoding that allows only one possible value? Was there some intermediate form of the standard in which other encodings were permitted? Regardless, websites which use non-UTF-8 character encodings remain common on the internet, so practical browsers (including mine - the post displays correctly for me) will make some effort to implement them regardless of what the HTML standard says.

Are you using any NationStates browser plugins? If so, try turning them off and seeing which one causes the problem.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

Oh, right. Missed that part. Ignore me, then.Racoda wrote:I think the previewing part is relevant here. Indeed, the post itself looks fine, but when writing an RMB post with a link to the dispatch and clicking on preview, it bugs out.
