shows up on my screen in Asian characters and asks me if I want to translate.
Sorry about the glitch  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 2/17/2020 1:49 pm : link
I was fixing the apostrophe issues and fat fingered it.

Should be OK now
Yes it's fixed now...

The only thing that looks off to me is:  
steve in ky : 2/17/2020 3:17 pm : link
The headers that list "Start a New Thread", "Search", Started By", etc., the colors are off and there isn't enough contrast to the background making them hard to see. I know what they are so no big deal to me but for someone new they may not be able to easily read them.

It’s weird, some users apostrophes look  
eric2425ny : 2/17/2020 4:06 pm : link
Like a bunch of characters including the trademark symbol. But other users look fine. Device specific issue maybe?

and end up in NY ... that just ain’t happening. Lets hope for a trade down and we get both an OT and some other defensive stud in the 1st round.


I’d suggest it’s not impossible. As in 99.9. But until they pick you never know if some team is going to be dumb like Chicago when they traded up for Trubisky. I’m fine w Simmons or the best T. It like this team is t desperate for talent at T or they back 7"
Did you increase the size of the glyphs for the pushpin?

Still getting the apostrophe crap.

I blame Ron Hussler. But maybe that’s just me being a conspiracy theorist.
Getting a lot

I'm noticing that the page  
Jan in DC : 2/18/2020 9:06 am : link
links at the bottom of threads seem to not be aligned (no indent). Not a big issue, but something I noticed. That and the pages are slow to load.
Seems somewhat random

Yep
The weird characters should be gone  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 2/18/2020 10:43 pm : link
But the black diamond question marks are back.

I'm still working on this.

FYI, this is all caused by people composing stuff in MS Word and then pasting it into the forum.

I have a solution that will detect when a person is doing this...AND KILL THEM.
Awesome..thanks  
The_Boss : 2/18/2020 11:17 pm : link
