And remember, if you don’t have this link later, google clean up smart quotes or something similar.

Remember smart quotes.

Thanks for posting a thread on this.

I've passed this link along but it needs a thread to get noticed.

Works really well, easy & fast.

This issue should have been fixed by FR’s webmaster months ago. IT professionals here have stated that it’s a fifteen minute fix.

Firefox has an addin ‘Copy Plan Text’. You get the option from right click popup menu.

Great help, Dan. Would it be possible for your conversion method to be automatically incorporated into FR’s code for posting and commenting?

I’ve just been fixing the problem manually for the benefit of my fellow FReepers, as it’s just plain annoying to read all those weird characters. I replace quotes, dashes, etc. manually when I paste stuff.

FR also messes up quotes and apostrophes that a poster types in reply as well

Got a fix for that?

This has been going on around 6 months

That works great. Couldn't this be intregated into FR as another tool, seems so easy maybe just to have another button provided in the Reply to post area.

Unless there is a mass banning, the crazy characters will be with us forever.

But it would be nice to get rid of these extraneous symbols.

I hadn’t bookmarked it the first time, so thanks for posting this again.

I have been highlighting the problem punctuation’s and retyping it and re-post.

Works for me and it’s quick and easy.

Test’s the - testing of the test’s - test.

Wow - it worked.

What happened to suddenly cause all of these weird symbols to appear in the first place because it wasn’t like this too long ago?
