Ah..maybe that explains Terrik's apostrophe obsession! lol

I haven't noticed it, but when my PC had a weird virus it would put all the posts I wrote here on the decor board. Talk about embarrassing!

I hadn't noticed, but that may be because I'm such a terrible typer and a pretty crummy proofreader to begin with, that I think it's just another one of my many goofs.

This happened to me on a post I did yesterday. Looked at the thread this morning, and I know have 1/2 symbol in my post?? Don't even know how I could have typed that even by accident? Didn't show up on the preview, so must be a web bug!

I saw one loaded with symbols on another thread the other day. I always type replies in the Message box, but once when my old glasses were broken and I was using an older temporary pair (and couldn't see well to read, lol) I typed a post in Word or Notepad then copied/pasted into GW Message box and it showed a bunch of weird symbols after I hit submit. Is anyone doing that?

I had been having a problem on GW only, when I post in the message box. Any post where I use an apostrophe, it mades a weird symbol. Suddenly, today, it stopped doing that. I havenâÂÂt changed a thing, so I think it was a GW glitch.

Well, I spoke too soon. Those symbols did NOT show up in the preview, but DO, when the submitted text hits the screen. I have no idea how to fix it.

I don't know about dropped apostrophes, but I did track down the strange characters. When I changed the Character Encoding option in my browser (Firefox) from Western to Unicode, the special characters were replaced by an apostrophe.
My guess is that somehow your setting was Unicode (double byte character set) for typing in the comment, and Western for reading the comment.

When I copied something into one of my posts the other day it did that weird symbols all over the place thing.
