Unwanted BOM

[foo]

hi,

i seem to have an unwanted BOM problem, which causes quite unpleasant look of my homepage in Internet Explorer - both 7 and 6 (which is bad, cause unfortunately most of the people coming to my site have it)...

i am running pixelpost 1.7.1 and i have tried every single ftp transfer mode and also editor to get rid of it... i was lucky with about_template and browse_template.. but the image_template still has it - and as far as my skills go there is no way to remove it ..

is there anyone who can help me with this? i would be greatful

here is the address of my site (http://xichtici.minimu.net)

and here is the screenshot in IE7 (http://xichtici.minimu.net/skrinsot.jpg)

What addons do you have installed?

I had this same issue last year - here are the links to the 2 threads that helped me resolve this issue:

Personalizing Messages in English Language File Ruins Formatting of Some Templates (http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6498)

The BOM you are seeing is in the language file that you are using. If you used anything other than a true ASCII text editor to edit any PP files, that's where the BOM came from. You also have to ensure that the file encoding for the language files is UTF-8 when you save them.

If you are using Windows, download Programmer's Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/), then open your language files with that to find/fix the problem.

oh, thank you so very much dhdesign... the language file was saved in UTF-8 but for DOS and the server is running UNIX, so this was apparently the problem which is now succesfuly solved...

thanx for your help

for editor i was using PSpad:)
