[GOC Admin]

Can someone post a screen capture of the punctuation issue? I don't see it on my end.

Basically
a) smart quotes (double and single)
b) hyphens
c) french characters

all get converted to "?"

The workaround is to do what I did in the linked thread. Replace smart quotes with simple quotes, replace hyphens with double dash, replace accented letters with their unaccented equivalents.

This happens most often when copy/pasting news articles.

?Deputy heads of federal organizations are responsible for building an appropriate workforce to fulfill their respective mandates,? the spokesperson said.

[And of course today it didn't. I had to manually put the ? in there. The next time I get stuck with that I'll post pictures.]

There is no future. Our hobby is dying, albeit, slowly.

This site has turned into an echo chamber for the few of us that remain. I get the occasional nugget of wealth here, but for the most part, it's rarely anything firearms related.

I'll say it - the site owner sold out. Everyone has their price. I'd probably have done the same thing.

The “hobby” is dying because the hobbyists among us have, for half a century, refused to acknowledge that organized shooting sports have never been the primary interest of more than a few of the Canadians who are interested in firearms.

and then I went back and manually fixed the "?" to the correct quotes so that the thread was legible.



I left "Justice Marie-Jos?e Hogue" without fixing it.
