I just discovered a problem in the migration of the forum to a new server. It seems that some people's posts have special characters for apostrophes and double quotes. Any post that had one of those characters got truncated at that character.
I am curious how these characters got into the posts. I know that Microsoft Word uses them by default -- the characters are
more "curly" as you can see around that word. And the apostrophe (') has a slant to it. So if a message is composed on Word, then pasted here, that would carry the new characters over.
Here's "curly" (Note the apostrophe, too.)
Here's "straight"
Someone tell me... If you use a Mac to post, which characters are used?
Thanks.
For an example of the problem, look at the
Wilderness Permit Options post. I can fix each post, but it will take quite some time.
