Post installation

I'm getting the odd characters you get when you cut/paste from Word. I've been trying to get all the people that post to our website to quit doing that but I'm having dificulty with it.

The odd thing is, only anonymous users see the odd characters. Once someone logs in, the proper characters appear. I can't figure out what may be the difference, because the characters also appear with the weather.module when someone is not logged in, and disappear when someone logs in.

I just moved from Movabletype to Drupal, and am making use of the "link to node title" functionality to redirect visitors from the old MT entries to the new Drupal entries, e.g., the .htaccess file in my old MT archive directory is now full of lines like

Redirect permanent /archives/blog_entry.php http://mysite.com/title/blog+entry

I'm getting this error everytime I view a user profile:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /.../modules/user.module on line 1164

That line looks like this:
foreach ($data as $category => $content)

Any ideas? The only clue I can give is that I had been modifying profile and user, but I backed them to 4.4.1 base when I started getting errors...

why does drupal not use named html entities for accents? (ie ã = ã)

sorry if this has been discussed before, but i couldn't find anything about it using the search box.

My 4.4 Drupal is up and running just fine. However, when I created my first admin account, I used my personal email address. Now that the site is live, I've changed the admin account's email address to be my client's address. I've also changed the init field in the user database to also match the client's address.

But, still, when I create a new user account, the email generated comes from the old email address, not the new one. Any ideas? Where does that email address come from?

Yesterday I upgraded my site from 4.4.1 to CVS, and while everything seems to work well, I have one problem.

In the 'Edit menu item' page ( mysite/admin/menu ), any changes I made does not registered. That is, when I tried to enable or disable any some items, I took me to the edit page, but after clicking 'Submit', there was no changes. ('disabled' still 'disabled' and 'enabled' stil 'enabled').

I do a clean install on my local machine and it works fine. But I can't figure out what is broken on my real site. Could someone suggest where it might go wrong?
