Free Republic's "Punctuation Script Problem" is Solved!

Jan. 18, 2016

[PROCON]

Has anyone else noticed that the " and ' symbols that were plaguing our threads for so long are no longer present?

Woo-Hoo, Good Job to John Robinson and the Free Republic computer fix-it nerds!

Nope, still is an issue with copy and paste.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Nope, still can’t properly punctuate Yeb!

[P-Marlowe]

The “ and ‘ symbols are fixed?

Nope.

Try again.

I checked numerous threads and they all had correct punctuation, but some posts here don’t....Hmm.

[KarlInOhio]

I kind of miss them.

Now if we can get rid of this new-fangled automatic closing of tags so my bold underlined italic ^{superscripts can keep on going into the following posts.}

Now if we could only solve the Trump/Cruz issue...
It’s gotten so bad I’ve been leaning toward O’Malley!

Let's try some European letters: ä ö ü õ š ž æ ø å

Did you guys do something or am I imagining the fixed script?

Hmmn. Seems like the first issue goes OK. The SECOND “copy and paste” begin duplicating the problem.

I am STILL Windows 7, NOT Windows 10. Is not the problem the switch from the old version to the new between my PC (and others) and the new server processor?

People are just having fun responding to this thread with the weird punctuation. I just did a test on another thread and it appears it is now fixed.

[Olog-hai]

Well, you can if you type the HTML code &#161; instead of trying to copy-paste the character, e.g. ¡Yeb!

This is a great day!

Are they going to remove the activity tab or is it the great hope of the future

[Scrambler Bob]

Donate.

Then check the $ and ... hey, no ‘cent’ sign.

And no ‘Euro’ [hooray].

Love and Peace (no Peace Sign)

Still gibberish.

GOOD, so I'm not going crazy!

I think the wrong scripts appearing here are from "others".

Glad to see this happen.
