Aye, @NuttsnBolts. Unfortunately we lapsed new posts in it for a while, so while we can edit it, new posts within are impossible due to the anti-necromancy field.


How old is the thread so that it voids the necro field? If you want I can see if a mod can still post in it if you'd like the new post function.

We're guessing a few months, @Kangaroo.

There's no hurry. We can still use it and till Mahz codes features once more, having the thread open for new posts isn't critical.

I'll have a crack because I think I've seen it work for mods.

EDIT: I was able to post in it, that might open it up for you?

Aye. As expected, that did the trick @Kangaroo. Thats essentially how Mahz did it last time.

Well if you run into that issues again, just let us know I guess.

Its not so much an issue as it is a feature that sometimes backfires, but we will.

So uh, I've noticed something sorta weird. On some posts, apostrophes are replaced by three question marks. It's only on some posts for some reason, and something like "Don't" looks like "Don???t".

This isn't limited to my browser, because I checked it on chrome and on internet explorer. I do have windows 10, however, so maybe that did something.

Any pattern to occurrences?
Does it only happen on one computer or multiple?

Do these three all look right, or is one with question marks?
don't
don´t
Don`t

All three of those look fine, and honestly, if there is a pattern, I'm not aware of it.

It's sorta seemingly random, though I did find something about the commas themselves. The ones I can't see on one particular post look like this: ’
While mine are normally like this: '

I did notice that on one posts, double apostrophes are also three question marks (" is ???), and in one post, the word café has 2 question marks in the place of an e (caf??).

I think it might just be something with my computer, as it looks other people copying symbols from other places (like word or something) is setting it off. In this post, for example, that apostrophe didn't do anything for me and was just a normal apostrophe.

Certainly sounds like a local problem, yes.

Is the computer fully updated and clean?

Sounds like rather clear-cut encoding issue to me. I've encountered similar before in other environments. Mind that markings looking identical doesn't mean they're mapped the same.

Also, the logout issue is back. Sorry, Mahz...

Yeah, my computer is fully updated, but it got reimaged so I don't actually know if it's clean. Should be, but I'll need to reinstall an antivirus and I can't do that right now.

I'll do that later and report back if the problem persists.

Aye, its probably encoding. The question is... Where does the encoding error lie? At what point in his system, @Shienvien?

It might be not so much an error as much as it's simply a mismatch. I could probably give a more specific conclusion if I was pointed out a few specific instances of it happening in posts, and not just what markings seem to be mismatched and/or undefined. (I know one person who occasionally has markings in his posts that do not confuse my computers or browsers, but *do* have codes that end up being unmapped on the server I use to backing up posts in case of a disaster, for instance ... something which I can't really do much about, as it is not my server to tamper with.) As well as their system's/browsers' encoding settings (for instance, my default is UTF-8 pretty much everywhere).

Ok, I've noticed that this happens on other sites too, so I do believe it's my computer.

We saw it too. Someone trying to fit too many words into title.

It wouldn't be too bad if they actually put spaces after the commas... Right now the overflowing part is all one "word".
