I've been reading MacRumors for years. It's the first place I go for all information Apple related.
The one thing that has bothered me is all of the invalid characters in the articles, mostly in quoted text. It looks like a problem with copying and pasting. Smart characters, such as left and right hand quotes, apostrophes, em dashes, etc., are improperly rendered in all the browsers. It makes it hard to read and looks unprofessional.
Firefox and Opera both show a little box where the character should be, while Safari just leaves it out. I've attached screen shots from these three browsers from recent articles.
These problems can be fixed in a number of ways but probably the easiest is to copy the text into a different intermediate source, one that doesn't try to convert characters into smart-characters.
