I have found that when I preview my post to a thread, the weird symbols pop up. I retype the quotation marks or whatever has been altered in the preview window and when I preview it again, they are correct and the post comes out perfect (typeface-wise; the content is usually complete crap).

I’ll try that.

You need to replace the characters in the post box when you cut and paste text into it. The bad characters include single and double quotes, and others.

Lol! I’m sure your content is novel and thoroughly fascinating. :)

It even occurs in the original articles, making it so hard to read them. It seems anytime anything is quoted, FR doesn’t pick up the quotation symbols like it used to. Wonder why.

FR is no longer able to handle italic quotation marks, apostrophes, em dashes of any type, and any higher level ASCII characters in any browser, it seems. This occurred after Google claimed that FR was a malicious website, but that may have been a coincidence.

I’ve been using the retype method also-—and it eliminates the squiggles.
