Starting today, I see characters like quotes or apostrophes or dashes expressed as what I think are escape characters in multiple posts. 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.

Annette's working on it with UBB support.

Looks like the same issue as last time: http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php/topics/285746/upgrade-successful#Post285746

Looks like this has been resolved now.

Thanks Annette!

For those who are coming late to this thread, my initial post isn't me being brain-dead. 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.
