This issue is no longer an issue. It is good manners not to post articles whose illegible marks can be seen in the preview window and without changing them to readable characters so the reader is not required to sort through the laxness of the poster.
In my opinion, it is time for the moderator to either get the poster to make the corrections, or block the articles from appearing until corrected.
You are right.
Pardon my messing up.
I’ve tried to find out how to get rid of the quotation marks turning into alien ‘glyphs, however, I can’t find the article / instructions under the HTML sandbox.
When you have the time, please let me know how I can clean up affected posts, and prevent further cut n paste alien glyphs from making their way into posts.
BTW: I use a Samsung Android Smartphone to post, and I don’t recall having alien quotation glyph problems prior to people complaining the problem several months ago.
Thanks,
Scott
the question rises...... why does the Free Republic system no longer recognize such characters and reproduce the characters incorrectly?
I like contractions but don’t type the ‘ any more because of the incorrect rendering
