[Vanity] Can We Fix the System, Please?
Today | TBP

Posted on 12/18/2015 10:39:16 PM PST by TBP

Can we please fix the system here so that when you copy material, you don't have to go through and change all the special symbols? It's getting cumbersome.

I’ve been saying that for a long time. The fact people think it costs that much is hysterical

What you need is a way to run user scripts on the iPhone.

I don't have an iPhone, but there are rumors that it is possible to run user scripts on iPhones.

Could you paste into notepad first, and then into the comments box ? Would that do it ?

All I know is it sucks. A pristine site has been infected by something that can make you go blind. A fix is desperately needed.

I agree—it’s completely ridiculous! If Jim R.’s son can’t fix it, pay a developer for a couple of hours to fix it.

Why?

It really screws with bloggers and defeats them...

Your posting is way over my head as to the explanation of the special characters appearing in postings, but thanks for the explanation and Merry Christmas to you, your family and your pets (they are family as well)....

I use that (http://dan.hersam.com/tools/smart-quotes.html)

I type my post in Word and then copy into and then hit convert and paste the converted text into the post. Works great but haven't used it for posting very long articles (which BTW - huge walls of texts - sort of annoy me anyway).

Don't know what's causing it, but donations might not be a bad idea for those who really hate to be inconvenienced.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

I have had people reply to my post. My post looked okay but the quoted part of their reply had the apostophes converted to garbage. It seems the problem is with FR.

Note: I am not complaining!

I am often weary of trying things that are new to me on the net, but I gave this a try and it works it is also kind of fun to work with, it will take some time for my mind to get use as I am resistant to change, thanks for your effort in explanation.

LaMudBug it is really not as complicated as it appears in written form, just download according to Installation Instructs and start using I think you’ll be glad you did, the learning curve is really shallow, FR is chock full of experts you can trust, it is more than a Forum it is a daily learning process.

Kind of makes me feel a bit like a Tech Nerd... I like it.

I use this, and it only takes a couple of clicks and a couple of seconds to fix even a long article:
