I think they are supposed to be a code for apostrophes and other symbol for quotation marks, but why am I seeing them?

You will see more and more characters replaced with gibberish until you make your FReepathon contribution.

You are not alone, I see them too. Don’t know why.

We here at FR have dingbats, as opposed to DU, which has moonbats.

I’m also having to login several times a day, when it should remain logged in all the time. Don’t know what’s going on.

I’m starting to like it.

You can get used to anything, I guess.

I have been posting without using the apostrophe. Makes me less crazy.

You are late to the party - it’s a glitch and the FR kitties are working to fix it.

Just forget it for the time being. If I see those when I am writing a post or I copy something into my post (that’s when I get them), I go to “preview” and delete those symbols and put the “ or ‘ in there. To prevent it in your writing or copying, you can get rid of some by eliminating ‘. Don’t use contractions, such as I’m or won’t. Write “I am” or “will not” to get rid of the symbols for contracted words.

You may note that when you post a reply and then preview your reply you will see similar “codes” for apostrophes ,etc. Somehow this has bled over to the postings on the page. Easy to work around though so no big deal.

Yesterday I read that people who have installed the free Windows 10 download are experiencing this issue.

There was no information about the OS they had been using before installing Windows 10.

Several people on the Microsoft Community Blog offered solutions to the problem, but there were no responses from people who may have tried to use them.

You will be OK unless you see a black spot.

It’s far less disturbing than the homo porn the lefties attacked us with some years back.

The explanation for this is not an easy one, however, this person does a good job of explaining what is happening when copying from one site and pasting it on Free Republic website.

Note: While he may be explaining it as pasting to word or email, the same applies when the pasting is done to another website.
