Book the website located at the link.
Copy the article you want to post and paste it in the top box located at the linked website. Press convert, then copy the converted text and paste it into the Free Republic "Body of Thread" box.
Try it a few times. It's basically self-explanatory and very easy.

Hey Jim, can this coding method be used internally in the FR website structure?

The problem lies in the ‘ and “ slant. If they are vertical they will post okay but if
they are slanted at a 45 degree angle they will post with all the garbage.
Preview before posting will help catch a lot of the problems and allow for correcting.

Thank you. I have been trying to go back through stuff and replace all the apostophes and such to clean it up. Still don’t get it all.

I am really slow. I would like to know this clean up trick for the future. Could someone run that by me again with a little more instruction?

Good question. When the campaign started I was using the correct Mexican punctuation for ¡Yeb! and I had to stop because it always screwed up

It’s more than just the slanted characters. I recently posted an article that had a long hyphen in it. The hyphen came out funny.

Yep, when it shows up just delete and replace with a hyphen from the keyboard.
That’s one of the reasons to preview so that the corrections can be made.
Take care. Hopefully one day this problem will be corrected.

The question should be......Why does anyone have to do this? It’s been going on quite awhile and should’ve been fixed by now imo.

That's one of the reasons to preview so that the corrections can be made. You're right. It was a bit of sloppiness on my part not to preview. It only takes a minute. Until the character problem is permanently solved, perhaps the posting window can be modified to require a preview.
