I just discovered a problem in the migration of my forum to the 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. The characters are hex 92, 93, and 94.
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 into a post, that would carry the new characters over.
Here’s “curly” (Note the apostrophe, too.)
Here's "straight"
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.
