What's going on with the board and foreign languages...

The apostrophe on the keyboard ' works.

This one ’ (probably produced by a word processor and copied) doesn't.

EDIT: Seems to work now though - sometimes

It won't let me post my update with word processor apostrophes... it says I have 751 images in my latest writings in the NES forum. This is kind of problematic.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Try going advanced - it worked for me.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Search and replace with another character.

Posting then editing with Advanced Settings works, for some reason.

Hmm, I spoilered and quoted a short article, and tried editing the post to move the link to it to the top of the post (via copy + paste), but it tripped the auto-censor.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Well all the old posts are affected, so if the final fix, when it comes, doesn't repair what has happened today, thousands of old posts will be a mess.

Yeah, I was looking back a couple older threads today, and they seemed much happier then I remembered them to be.

It's from a word processor? derp

I spent a good 5 minutes searching my keyboard for it

Hmm... I'll post this as a picture, since:

But we can't all go back and fix the hundreds of thousands of posts we've made over the years… surley the autocensor can UNDO this, right? I'd hate it if a download link I posted years ago was suddenly turned into FUBAR mishmash just because of, well… this…

Can we just turn the autocensor off until this is all fixed please? Or revert it back to the way it was and deal with dupe acc'ts as they come? It's all a bit tedious.

Curses do get moderated anyway so I don't see what the difference is between having an autocensor in place and not.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

So wait, apostrophes don't work?

Test: '

EDIT: works for me...

Its not the ASCII apostrophe doing it.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Could we roll back the forums to just prior to the "fix" so we don't lose all those old posts?

[gangleri2001]

Yes, switch back to the previous settings until the problem is solved please. I don't want to have such an ugly signature anymore.

 

[W|M]

That is an awesome sig!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Odd thing, my updates before the New Year don't have the problem, but everything since January has changed for the worse.
