Apostrophe Glitch

[JPaikman]

As mentioned in the temporary post, it seems like apostrophes are glitching out with symbols. I'm sure you've noticed, but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks again for your hard work, and making this the best Alabama forum on the internet.

For some reason, the new web page changed every ' into a series of gibberish characters (e.g. ’).

@Tidewater & @JPaikman - Thanks. It's a known issue and noted in my update thread here.

Background of the issue is that the updated database did not / does not recognize the "smart" or "fancy" apostrophe, quote marks, ellipses, em-dashes, etc. and converts them into garbage characters.

We were able to fix some of these issues in the import but not others.

You can fix your own posts/threads if you want. I've fixed some of them already but there are more. Hopefully new threads/posts won't have the issue.

I corrected a few, then IO realized there were a bunch, so I let it be.
