Punctuation Problems - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

tf95ZR1 · 07-15-2020

Some of you may be experiencing punctuation issues with your posts.
The problem is coming from electronics using certain iOS platforms.
The fix is on YOUR end ("Smart Punctuation" issues).
Do your research and due diligence, as the ZR-1 Net Registry
takes no responsibility if your iPhone or computer self destructs.

Solution from VBulletin:
"This is happening on our development site as well. If you turn off
Smart Punctuation on the ipad Settings --> General --> Keyboard -->
Smart Punctuation, the apostrophies work correctly "

"It is caused directly by the "curly quotes" used with the smart quotes
option in iOS and comes down to UTF-8 support. It will most likely need
programming to fix."

Computer nerd stuff beyond my pay grade.
Good Luck!
