Otsikko: Question mark appearing instead of Comma appostrophe etc
Kirjoitti: ivanr - kesäkuu 21, 2019, 10:36:58 AP
I have noticed recently that commas, ", and apostrophes are being replaced with a ? mark.
Does not seem to be a problem form my desktop PC but is if I post from an Iphone (And no the Iphone is not auto-correcting)

Anyone any idea how to fix it? Thanks Using 2.0.15

it's a problem with the use of "special" punctuation like on apple or microsoft products.

Convert your forum to UTF8 and it should be corrected.

Many thanks for reply back so quickly.
Where do I change that though. Is it in the admin section, can't find the setting I need to change.

Thanks
