I don't recall this being an issue in the past. I do realize that some web pages show up like this with Firefox, but I don't remember seeing it so much with Free Republic. Anyone else seeing this?

Yes. It is occurring with cut & paste quotation marks and marks like this -. I gather it is tough to root out the underlying problem.

I started seeing all those strange characters about a month or so ago. I use Internet Explorer. I know others have mentioned it but I never caught what was causing it.

Pretty sure you’re the only one.

Since I post a daily Bible Study, with cut-and-paste Bible passages, I too have been struggling with this. I have found a solution to the problem, though it is a bit tedious and requires a little work.
Delete all the punctuation and re type it. Especially apostrophes, quote marks, and dashes.
Then check the post and see if you missed any.
Right now, we are studying the Book of Acts, which contains a LOT of dialogue. It has been taking twice as long to do my daily thread, but it looks nice when I’m done.
I use Firefox on a mac Mini.

Sometimes FF says FreeRepublic is a scam site or something and prevents me from entering it.

Only for the past three months. Those cats must take up a lot of your time.

I use FF also, and have been seeing these for a while now too.

Strange characters?
If you see something, say something.

I only get it when I copy and paste from a source other than my notepad... If I forgot to delete commas, apostrophes and quotation marks, it’s a mess.
It does it in Firefox and IE.

May as well bump before another one starts.
I have gotten kind of use to it.

Interesting that you didn’t post for 9 months.
Glad you are back.

I’ve noticed that if I cut and paste it works OK, UNLESS I hit PREVIEW, then post from there, I then have a problem.
To: CatOwner
Anyone else seeing this? Yes. It is so bad on FR that I refuse to read post that are riddled with this crap.
