Lately, like in the last few days, I've noticed a weird symbol pop up in place of the ' symbol in contractions. Changing the encoding doesn't seem to help at all. I was just wondering if someone else had this problem.

I've noticed it, it seems that the Fanfiction.net auto formatting is wonky, again.

I just assumed it was a failed attempt at converting windows-1252 "smart quotes" etc. to UTF-8, or something like that. Other non-ASCII characters, like em-dashes, were also being replaced.

Why even bother reporting FFnet errors to anyone but FFnet themselves? It's not as if their problems are anything new.

Because it's helpful to know what to avoid, maybe?

I dunno. All I did was alert the author and he uploaded another copy and presto, its fine.

I just wanted to know if it was something wrong with FF.net or my computer, cause it was starting to bug me a little.

I can say I've not seen that issue in the last few days, though in fairness, I've been busy painiting and house updating. I've still been there enough I should have seen it though. Oh well.
