Ampersands

Hi MN

Just checking you're aware that every time someone uses an ampersand it shows up as "&amp"?

Or is it just on my iPhone? Though I didn't see this before the upgrade.

I'm on the iOS app (iPhone 7) and also getting the strange strings of letters/symbols for & (and, I think, other symbols, but I can't work out from the context what they were supposedly be Confused )

Although the examples @Clymene ´s M&S post displays ok Confused

Ok so that last post of mine looks fine when I view it on safari but M&S on the app.

So I think a lot of people can't see what we can!

Also - not particularly important but I've found half of the emojis people post are coming out squished GrinGrin
Like someone has patted their heads down too hard haha

My iPhone App wasn't working properly yesterday at all so I reinstalled it.
Couldn't put things in the Watch list, bookmark or even write a reply!!
Not sure about the ampersands though.

Yeah the quote doesn't work properly at all on iPhone app.

@FatFucker

Yup just typed on both app and safari and definitely isn't displaying properly on App when it is typed in safari!
Does it cut off half my sentence when I quote?

It's doesn't display properly when you type it on safari but looks ok when you have typed it on the App!

Clymene · 22/04/2022 10:46

Yours look fine to me too! So I'm guessing the people who are getting weird numbers and stuff aren't using the iOS app?

@Clymene

Can you see my ampersands properly though @MinglingFlamingo?

Because they look fine on screen to me.

Yours look fine but it might be because there not a space between the characters

@Clymene

Oh that's weird - is it because it's an iOS problem and I'm using the iOS app?
I'm using the iOS app
