You might want to look at the copyright blurb at the bottom of each page:

� 2009 Optimum Business Systems, Inc.


VSD now enforces utf-8 encoding (the "preferred" character set for the web) and it looks like the copyright symbol you were using isn't supported.

The code for the symbol in utf-8 can be either © or ©

ON EDIT: I ran into this with some double quotes when moving to 6.0 and the solution was just delete and re-type them and that removed the question mark. You might just try that.

So far I like the look and feel of the new version. The only issue that I ran into that is kind of a pain is when you go to add a link to a document from text. I don’t like that there isn’t a radio button to select to link to document like in the previous version.

The reason being is I spent a good half hour trying to show a customer how to link text to a pdf. The issue that I ran into is that if you don’t click, use link, followed by changing the target to New Window (_Blank), then clicking “link to a document” it gets all hosed up. Then if it gets hosed up, you can’t just re-highlight the word and re link to the document it seems to keep http://www.coffeecup.com in the box and doesn’t put the document back in it after you hit the link to document button. You pretty much have to re-type the word and start over with the linking process described. Where on the last version you just check the radio button, add the document and away you go.

This was using Windows XP and Vista. I did also reinstall the software on both machines and have the same problems.

Overall I love the software it easy to use and it gives me the ability to purchase a new copy and set my customer up with very simple to use software that allows them to maintain parts of there website themselves.

Looks fine if the original encoding is used (ISO-8859-1). VSD shouldn't be putting the wrong meta tag info in there.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why that happened, the more I think about it. In my case that little ? symbol popped up in place of some double and single quotes, but not all of them, and only one one page. Very odd. Like I said, I just deleted and re-typed them in the text boxes and they were fine again.

Guess it was just a glitch of some sort.

I just found a small issue with this feature and have logged it as a bug. We should have a fix for it next week.

Thank you Scott and CoffeeCup for version 6 VSD. It has taken me a couple of days to convert my largest website from 5.94 to 6, but, it is great. I still need to tidy it up, replace the copyright symbols, etc. , but it's still fun and a great learning experience. Thanks.
