That's a problem with the switch over. Something about smart quotes I believe.

I noticed this sort of thing in another forum intro and fixed it, I'll fix this one, if you find more post them and I'll fix.

Yeah, there was an issue with MS smart quotes in the conversion to PostgreSQL 9.0. Right now, it isn't affecting the usability of the website much, so it is way down the list of things to fix at the moment.

Thanks for the report though, keep 'em coming!

Thanks V!

That's also one of the reasons I was leaving them alone... they are fixable from within the admin interface, whereas the other issues require code modifications :)

I believe that almost all of the 40k forum descs are similarly affected.

yeah, it is weird. The smart quotes in other places seem to have been fixed ok... I'm going to run a check against the data at some point to be sure all looks good, but want to get proper site functionality in place first.

From the front page of the DL section, where it lists recent and favorite downloads. If you just click on any of the linsk you'll get the fail.
This one should be fixed. Can you confirm?
