We have had some database problems, but have had a valid backup to keep all the data safe throughout.

The problem has been ongoing, but I think I’ve got it all stabilised.  I’ll keep frequent backups until I’m sure.

As far as the character set problem we still have, I will find a way to run a search and replace in the database soon.

If you get a chance, test pasting from <shudder> Micro$oft Word.  The problem should have been a retroactive one, not a current one, now that everything is supposed to agree.

If you get me the coding for the single opening quotes, btw, I’ll run a replace on it.
