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

and here is the screenshot in IE7

thanx alot

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

Validation Error

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, 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
