Screwed up website with               characters

same here happended to me yesterday - is homestead for real - I have been using this for 20 years now and of late having nothing but problems with site builder and site builder plus. This is ahtml problem where the space has been replaced with  Â 

We have been hacked too all A A A  A  . What are you doing about it Homestead ?? www.hampsteadkarate.com

Having the same issue. Talked to two different reps today by phone.  Both said they have no idea when it will be resolved and suggested it's because my website is old and on their old platform (http rather than https) - that the issue is with their old platform, and that a solution is for me to build a new website in the new platform.  

I just visited your site, and I don't see any A's.  Did you manage to fix it yourself?  Or did Homestead resolve it?  Also I see yours is https (on their 'new' platform?), so it must be a more system wide issue than what they told me. 

kathy5473, I just visited stephen9496's site, and the A problem is definitely still happening on it.

Got the same problem on 3 of my websites with them...I called and the person in India said they were working on it. Now I see complaints from a month ago!!.  3 websites full of stuff for 20 years and can't rebuild. www.chs1959.com, www.azsurvivors.com, www.raylindstrom.com. 

Well it looks like some of my pages are clearing up on thier own. It would be nice if someone jumped on here and spoke to us.

Mine are not clearing up.  I was able to add a line that the website was down and added an email at the top in a bold red.  Awful mess.  

It is crazy, I have been going to other computers here and trying sites over and over. Every once in awhile a site will look good on IE and Chrome. Firefox has stayed steady all morning, sites are rendering just fine on it.

I created another site.  Spent too long doing it, at least it is better then what was there.  I did call them for assistance in how to switch but not that hard.

@robyn3691​ Was the new webbuilder as user friendly as Sitebuilder?  I assume it must be, if you have already been able to create a new site. 

How I miss the old days...I started back in the 90's when it was free and played around with some sites.

I restarted what I have now in 2007 and it was great. Work was fun.

Alas, we have this total disaster of a company that owns it. I cant keep track of all the time it (HS) has been sold.

@ken9868​ Hi I have just republised my site - page by page using the "Site Builder" NOT the online version nd it has cleared all spacing being repalced with the A - please try it and let me know how you get on :)

Dn't use the online version to edit - it seems thisis where this HTML issue with spaces and symbols replaced has come from for sure as I have only done edits yesterday with the online builder and this is wen the HTML issue occurred.

Won't allow us to download Sitebuilder:

404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

@mark9227​ I agree 100%. I urge everyone to switch. The problems will no doubt continue.

@mark9227​ Turns out Bluehost & WordPress are not able to migrate my websites. They are 'too old', and the software running them is incompatible and outdated. Bummer!!

Yes, CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT...LET'S DO IT!!
