    I’m still seeing ‘phone number’ spam early mornings, which could be fixed easily using a filter to detect that kind of post.
    Fixing the wrong thing?

    Oh and the bug only happens when I edit a post with apostrophes, never on the first post. How is Unicode connected with that scenario?

    Just bumping this thread to see whether any progress in resolving the problem. The above post is nearly impossible to read.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Had a PM update today from MSE Andrea - not very satisfactory.

    " Hi! I don't have an update on that at the moment other than what we've posted on the Site Feedback board here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5788856

    I'm afraid we can't prioritise this at the moment but we are taking an overall look at the forums in the next six months and this will be taken into account."
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Not understanding this stuff at all, I'm a bit bemused when viewing this thread.

    The OP's original post reads perfectly on my PC, but then, when Duck replies with the message quoted, all the apostrophe nonsense appears!!!

    What the???

    Yes the bug occurs when you edit your previous post or someone quotes it - all apostrophies are converted into whatevers.

    As they say, 'you can't get the staff'
    Even while we are still in the EU.

    From my experience on these boards, a significant number of people have very little idea when to use apostrophes in any case! Its (sic) a complete joke. :cool:

    Just do not use them, as long as the jist of your post gets across, i never question a persons spelling on a keyboard.

    Just a test as was having this problem. It's a right pain.

    '''

    Looks to have been fixed with the fix. Ta!
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
