  …seem to lead to a question mark every time after the two spaces and before the new sentence…I normally type and put two spaces between sentences, something I was always taught and am sure I am not the only one. I think this should be fixed to where no question mark pops up when you publish your blog.

  Can you show an example please? I learned that same habit but have never seen it do that. It sounds more like a browser character set problem than anything else.

  acardattack, I tested that same page in 4 different browsers and don’t see the problem. Is it still present there?

  Try this: go to the View / Character Encoding menu in your web browser. Which item is ticked? It should be UTF-8.

  I made a quick edit and edited it back to single space between sentences…although I just posted something new and will leave it with the double spaces. In FireFox I see the question marks and in my I.E. I see blocks.

  Thanks, I can see the problem now.

  Visit your wp-admin dashboard. Go to the View / Character Encoding menu in your browser. Is UTF-8 selected or something else?

  Actually never mind, I think I can see what the problem is.

  The problem should be fixed now. Your test post is still messed up, but when you write new posts from now on they should be fine.
