Smart Quotes and Special Characters

[RangeBob]

In one of my editors I've created a macro to replace smart double quotes and smart single quotes with their simple equivalents that GoC currently requires to avoid them being board 'translated' to the more difficult to read "?"s.

I don't guarantee to use it all the time, and the macro doesn't currently handle any other special characters like "--", but it's easier than doing it manually so when posting articles I'll probably use it frequently.


Curly/Smart Quotes and Curly/Smart Apostrophes
Use ALT+0145 and ALT+0146 for the left and right single quotation marks or apostrophes, respectively.
Use ALT+0147 and ALT+0148 for the left and right double quotation marks, respectively.

Well, what do you know. Smart Quotes work in this subforum.

Perhaps that was why the site was down Thursday afternoon -- to fix that.

Old posts that were messed up, are still messed up. e.g. https://www.gunownersofcanada.ca/sh...t-and-justin-s-quot-Real-Change-quot?p=692098

But I see they don't work in the "News And World Headlings" subforum -- so I still have to use my replacement macro there.

Lucky for me I don't know any smart quotes.

Is there any plans to fix the punctuation, or is this site just never going to be taken seriously again?

I'm remembering how hard it was to get pic posting fixed.
