Apostrophes.

[Colm O Hooligan]

Has anyone noticed that apostrophes in the board profiles are being turned into a series of quotation marks?

[Alais d Nitesong]

Yes, I went into my profile and deleted them, but no clue how they got there.

[Colm O Hooligan]

I changed them back and immediately they reverted to quotation marks.

See, look at your sig. :>

[Alais d Nitesong]

Yup, I just corrected for the second time today, and low and behold, they're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

::shakes fist:: Stop the assault on apostrophes! I demand the proper tools to show dialect.

[Spiffy McBang]

wtf? I see apostrophes.

[Farek]

In the profiles, apostrophes were doubling and tripling, so it would show, for example drinkin''''' whiskey instead of drinkin' whiskey.

I suspect it's a translation problem. When storing the data into the database, the scripts have to watch for ' (single quote) in text, because ' is used to delimit field data. So it encapsulates them in the double quotes. Or vice versa possibly, when pulling data out of the database it gets encapsulated.

Either way, it's likely due to SQL's need to differentiate between quotes needed for field delineation and quotes used for other purposes.

Hopefully some time later today. I know they are working on it.
