James_A Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Looks like the Board cannot handle the standard html entities for quotes, specifically ‘ ‘ left single quotation mark ’ ’ right single quotation mark “ “ left double quotation mark †” right double quotation mark See the newsbot stories (e.g. HERE) for examples. However, it CAN handle the numerical equivalents, which are #8216 #8217 #8220 and #8221, respectively. (Put the proper prefix "&" and suffix ";" around each and those numerical equivalents will be auto-converted when you hit the Post button.) .

Administrator Tarun Posted June 21, 2011 Administrator Share Posted June 21, 2011 “testing†“testing†Seems to work okay. I think it was just a hiccup. I tried to find other instances of rdquo since we've been using a new editor for the frontpage. It only found that latest story. I will keep an eye on it and see if it happens again. IP.Board is at 3.2 Beta 1 (2 soon), so if this is a bug it may already been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ok, but the other one (which is HERE) doesn't use double quotes, but single quotes, so you wouldn't find it with that search. and ” still doesn't work for me. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted June 21, 2011 Administrator Share Posted June 21, 2011 The only other thing I can think of is that I was using Windows 7 Speech Recognition and Microsoft Word 2007 to write both articles referenced. I then copy/pasted them into the frontpage editor. But what's strange is that this is just recently becoming an issue. I'll check for a few updates to the editor just in case.

James_A Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Ok, it's not really a major problem for me, but it did make those two NewsBot items a little difficult to read. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted June 22, 2011 Administrator Share Posted June 22, 2011 I agree completely, and I'm glad you brought it to my attention. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
