why does the site look different?
i honestly prefered the old style..
what happened?
WMM had a major upgrade beginning on February 3, 2016 at 1:00 pm est. This is WMM 2.0. My guess is that ,,, perhaps ... the source code was old enough that patching it was no longer a option.
Yes, the site looks different. They probably had some advice on improvements. As long as the site works, I'm happy. I'll get used to the new style soon.
The new WMM word processor/posts uses a different character encoding format than the old word processor did. There are many ways to encode the same letter or number. Either the HTML is implemented a bit differently or a different character encoding format was used ... or both. That is why the old posts look awkward. There is, unfortunately, no one universal "standard". See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding and follow the hyperlinks if you want a more technical explanation.
