Free Republic's "Punctuation Script Problem" is Solved!
Jan. 18, 2016

Posted on 01/18/2016 6:31:59 PM PST by 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!

Testing:

Emer de Vattel (25 April 1714 – 28 December 1767) was a Swiss philosopher, diplomat, and legal expert whose theories laid the foundation of modern international law and political philosophy. He was born in Couvet in Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1714 and died in 1767 of edema. He was largely influenced in his philosophy by Gottfried Leibniz and Christian Wolff and strove to integrate their ideas into the legal and political system. He is most famous for his 1758 work Le Droit des gens; ou, Principes de la loi naturelle appliqués à la conduite et aux affaires des nations et des souverains (in English, The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law Applied to the Conduct and to the Affairs of Nations and of Sovereigns). This work was his claim to fame and won him enough prestige to be appointed as a councilor to the court of King Augustus III of Saxony.

I just did a test on another thread and it appears it is now fixed.

Nope. It isn't.

The only question now is how many threads will we get time someone new notices.

straight single quote and straight double quote both appeared as left curly single/double quotes. Upon cut and paste they became left slant single/double quotes.

Type it and see what happens. Worked ok for me. Cut & paste introduces problems though.

They’re working in the bodies of the threads.

Well, character entities seem to work (e.g., &oslash; produces ø).
