The issue is with the forum software parsing apostrophes out of the database...

Happens to me when posting from my phone or iPad. It is VERY annoying. Among the forums I frequent, this is a TBN exclusive.

:confused3: Beats me.

I do recall something about there being two types/styles of website format or 'skin' for TBN. Maybe that's got something to do with it?

I'm 'old school'... with an avatar and a full list of details showing.

Yep, I am on the "old design" named "Tractor":

Lying at the end of a narrow, muddy lane, his rambling edifice of thatch, wattles, mud, and dirty brown wood was almost obscured by a towering dung heap in what, without it, would have been the front yard. The building was large, for it was more than a dwelling. Beneath its sagging roof were a pigpen, a henhouse, cattle sheds, corncribs, straw and hay, and, last and least, the family痴 apartment, actually a single room whose walls and timbers were coated with soot. According to Erasmus, who examined such huts, 殿lmost all the floors are of clay and rushes from the marshes, so carelessly renewed that the foundation sometimes remains for twenty years, harboring, there below, spittle and vomit and wine of dogs and men, beer remnants of fishes, and other filth unnameable. Hence, with the change of weather, a vapor exhales which in my judgment is far from wholesome.

The centerpiece of the room was a gigantic bedstead, piled high with straw pallets, all seething with vermin. Everyone slept there, regardless of age or gender grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, and hens and pigs and if a couple chose to enjoy intimacy, the others were aware of every movement. In summer they could even watch. If a stranger was staying the night, hospitality required that he be invited to make ç™»ne more on the familial mattress.

The above is a passage that I have copied and pasted from another site -- Bonus Quotation of the Day... - Cafe Hayek

Rather than leaving the text as is or manually correcting the text, I have started making a screenshot of the passage I want to quote and then inserting the screenshot as an image.

Good idea, the apostrophes and quote characters can't get changed that way. :thumbsup:
