How to post articles on FR without the crazy special characters
dan.hersham.com ^ | 2/19/2016 | self

Posted on 02/19/2016 9:47:47 AM PST by Signalman

This is my second posting, for anyone who may have missed it the first time.

Bookmark 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.

Test’s the - testing of the test’s - test.

Wow - it worked.

What happened to suddenly cause all of these weird symbols to appear in the first place because it wasn’t like this too long ago?

Are you saying that FR has a bug? I am not a computer Geek so I don’t understand these things, just pondering over some possibilities that’s all.

Used it today for the first time. So much easier than going back and correcting each garbled character. Dan Hersham deserves a medal!!!

I’m not fixing someone’s website. If it posts poorly so be it.

Thank you so much. I used this today and it saved me 15 minutes on a list of links I was trying to post!

I tried this back in January when the same article was posted with the link on Free Republic. Tried is twice and it didn't work.

Waste of time.

And FR is asking for donations when it doesn’t even bother to fix minor issues such as this?

Yes. That appears to be the case.

That’s a poor business strategy.

Well, you’d think the partners would have done something to address such a glaring problem on the front end of their business by now, but for some reason, they haven’t.

I have no answers for it.

It has been the subject of many threads, and you may be interested in this one in particular.
