Hi, it used to do that thing with the pound signs sometimes but it should be OK now. It's a slightly long story.

On the OP in the linked thread, hmm. The usual culprit is indeed Microsoft Word. When you type in word it converts the regular " and ' signs to curvier prettier ones. The problem then is that they are not guaranteed to exist as characters in the character sets HTML and our servers use. Now, I thought we had a filter in place to handle that, but if that post went in like that today, it must not be working right. We'll take a look.

Cheers,
Tech
