Flintlock76I have no idea why it does that.
The "proper" way to address these issues is to do a smart multiple parse of the text before display, looking for particular gibberish patterns in strings and optionally 'correcting' them according to sensible rules. Most e-mail clients or browsers are not written with the necessary level of intelligence to handle this.
Perhaps the funniest examples of the problem come when multiple programs operate "helpfully" on text, as for example in one of the two bugs in Word 4 for Mac, where one part of the program helpfully converted straight quotes to curly up and down 'typography' when encountered ... but the e-mail merge function depended on unmodified straight quotes as data delimiters ... saved in a normal document along with the fields in formatted typeface. (This was relatively easy to work around once you understood what was happening, by simply typing the first lines of the document in a nonproportional typeface that didn't use curly quotes, but it was a very good example of creeping featurism that really isn't a feature if you can't control how it works!)
Unless there has been a change, the plant area has been served by EJ&E.
It seems to happen only on the topic block, and it's been like that for years. I think it goes back to HTML.

Lithonia Operator I wish I could help you out. The " thing has happened to some of my posts also. It's totally bizarre. I have no idea what causes it. I've only experienced it on this forum.

I usually see that if I correct or add to a post on a topic I've opened. It's easily fixed, go to the topic block, make the correction, that is, make it look like it's supposed to, then submit.
I have no idea why it does that.
I doubled checked my typing in the original post and should not have used the "quote".
Still the question is how are the CTA cars being delivered to the CTA?
Maybe the the comments section was attacked by an ". Or a pair of them.
ALL:
Can anyone an "Trains" tell me why my comments on the "News Digest" are not getting posted? I hit the enter button and the message says that the post will be evaluated and posted if approved.
My question is about the new CTA cars delivered that are being tested. How are the CTA cars delivered to the CTA?
Also, when I check the "receive notifications" box, I don't get said notifications.
