So I have noticed on the board lately that sometimes when I post, and if my post has a ' on it anywhere, any and all ' become listed as: & # 0 3 9 ;

Only, you know, without the spaces.

And I'm not the only one who has experienced. I've noticed that in other people's posts, their apostrophes are replaced with sequence as well. So, Doc, any explanation as to why the board is doing this?

EDIT: Crap, it did it when I posted this!

Also quotes do it as well at times and the ampersand. I know the apostrophe glitch has been around for a while; it plagued me at least half a year ago on a couple of the UnNews topics.

The recent update to PHP5 caused a few odd issues to show up... I'm still fixing a few minor things as I notice them.

In this case, I've fixed the problem with the apostrophes. Please warn me if you find anything else!

I post musings, images and nonsense on Tumblr! I play games on Steam! Add me on either/both, and don't hesitate to ask if you want to play something with me!

Did you fix it for quote symbols and ampersands?

Yes, both issues were caused by the same thing.

I'm still getting these things, Doc... It's really starting to bug me.

Got a source, or an example that I could check on? You'll notice that your post here showed up just fine.

That's the thing though. It's never affected my posts at least from my end. It's not a constant either. It seems to flicker on and off...

Also, I unfortunately have no idea how to take a screenshot of one.
