Is anyone else having difficulty posting at the moment? The last few days have been very hit and miss with me, errors such as this:

SQL Error : 1271 Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN

I've had it a couple of times when trying to copy and paste a press release into a post for some reason, otherwise I've been ok posting.

If I post a pound sterling symbol (?) it becomes a question mark (?).

I just looked at the preview and that was correct so now I am going to actually post it.

And the pound sign became a question mark, but everything else was the same.
I should have mentioned that posting also activated the regular DEBUG error screen.
