 * Hey all.
 * First off, I just want to give a thumbs up to this plugin – I used the previous
   version happily. But the recent version caused me a little panic.
 * The encoding on my website got good and messed up. Random boxes would show up
   in place of spaces. And all Chinese text showed up instead as ???
 * I don’t want to prevent anyone from trying YARPP. Like I said, I used it before
   and it was awesome. But if you are having this problem, advice on the forums 
   is to mess with your wp-config.php. Try deactivating this plugin first.

 * @ostronix – Thanks for the support and I’m sorry for the trouble YARPP may have
   caused.
 * A couple questions: are you using 2.1.6 or the 3.0 beta? Was this a post that
   was written before installing this version of YARPP or after? Was it edited after
   it was published?
 * Thanks– I appreciate the report.
