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!

Would you dare ask the Mods to edit your headline?

” “ “ “ I’m “very” happy!:”’?

Copy and paste from above. No edits.

****SIGH****

"It's not dead, Jim."

[bramps]

No it ain’t.

[al_c]

Nope. I just quoted a comment on another thread with the < i > and < / i > tags and his quotes came out messed up in that line.

Direct copy & paste of your so-called test;

Let’s see — testin’ and checkin’ if it’s “fixed.”

Things do not appear to be fixed.

The system still doesn't like fancy curved (pronounced curve-ed) quotation marks.

Second thought Never mind.

It’s a fun thread as is.

[Delta 21]

Nah, That cant be it. We fixed that ITALIAN problem years ago!

[Larry Lucido]

What about exclamation points?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good. Now start using them!!

[Larry Lucido]

Damned Italians forgetting to close their tags!

[Larry Lucido]

See #93.

BTW the test only works if you CUT AND PASTE something with those characters in it.

Here’s the real test:
Let’s see — testin’ and checkin’ if it’s “fixed.”

AND.... IT’S NOT FIXED.

AND your screenname contains some weird characters, impossible to duplicate from the keyboard. What’s up with that ?????

[Ray76]

That’s hilarious!

[Defiant]

That makes “::””&*me sad”””.

[Arthur McGowan]

That&^@s great news!
