The mess of """'s...

[tiscando]

I found that on many posts made at least a year ago; an ""..."" is dotted somewhere. : (I mean the keyword " which means ".) it should read "...".

It may be my Internet Explorer v7.0.6 on Windows Vista, which doesn't parse &quot to ". This would look true if you see all "s parse into ".
Or it may be that the keyword " used to parse in post text until after a year ago.

I was googling "site:www.picaxeforum.co.uk "", but found no thread talking about "s. At the same time, I also found a post with an unparsed & (meaning &).

If it's not my fault, could anyone make all the "s, &s, and the like on this forum (mainly in the archieves) parse into ", or replace all "s into " asciiwise. This would make reading the archieves easier.

without NoParse: " &

with NoParse: " & :confused:

It happened during the transfer of old posts etc. onto the new Forum.

I guess if someone has a spare 6 months they could edit it, though I am surprised that a little bit of code couldn't sort it.

I see, so where did those old posts with the "s originate?
How was the new forum different to the old forum?

I am so interested...

It was the software that runs it. The &quot"s are visible under every browser/OS.
