Title: I've Got a ? Where My ' Should Be
Post by: mistercharlie on December 21, 2020, 08:28:00 AM
So did I get high and miss it or something? I've noticed a lot of posts recently where there is a Question Mark instead of an Apostrophe in words like "I?m" and "didn?t". Is it a running joke that I've missed? It's a hard typo to make.
What's the business?  :?

Yeah that?s what I?m seeing, too. I thought it was a bug.

It's a bug.

There was another not too long ago. Some sort of charset incompatibility. I see it in some posts but not others.
For example, My post seems fine.

Same, not all posts are showing like that.
I just assumed it was on mine or their ends.

It only happens when I post from my phone, which is most of the time these days.

As I guessed earlier that it?s a charset compatibility issue. I?m testing from my up-to-date iPhone to confirm.
Also wonder if other things like ?quotes? work?

Well, that does it. iOS issue for sure.

No more contractions, people.

I was looking into this because I notice it on certain browsers (Edge on Windows, for instance), but not others. I def think it's a UTF error of sorts, but I'm not sure what is wrong.

I can try upgrading the site to a beta of their "new release" 2.1, but I'm a bit worried to do that just for this. I'll keep looking into it to see if we can come up with a solution.

It?s an issue that happens when I post from my iPhone if that helps.

It's happening on my Samsung, too.

Well, I guess whatever you did fixed the issue on my Samsung!
