Here's an example. Quote “Uh-huh.” instead of Quote "Uh-huh." I'm baffled. I tried this in both Firefox and Chrome with identical results. I'm only seeing this in posts earlier than 7/19/20 (today). Any tech advice? Maybe there's a setting on the browser I could change. Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around. - Stephen King, from On Writing

Until our brilliant board admin Annette attacked the problem, this was quite vexing. The quote marks weren't quote marks at all, but something like "&qt" or something else unreadable by humans. Thank you, Annette and Folc4, for responding so quickly to this problem. You heartily deserve these cheers. And now we can party on with our reading and posting!
