Re: Quotes: ‘’ “”
I am quite confident this is the same underlying problem as the Human Verification Images. The servers are missing a package that allows them to dynamically generate/manipulate images.
This will be a slightly more complicated fix, and requires a bit more testing, I hope to have this fixed tomorrow, but today may not be likely.Last edited by danp; May 28th, 2020 at 05:47 PM.

Re: Quotes: ‘’ “”
That is certainly a possibility, although I am a bit confused as to how it would manifest. The database didn't change at all, simply restored a snapshot into a different account.
I am still interested if anyone else is able to reproduce this though, I can't, but I can see what you're describing.
This should be a fun one to track down.Dan P, Founder & President, Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association

Re: Quotes: ‘’ “”
At this point, I believe we are stable, but not bug-free. Thankfully most of the bugs being tracked, while inconvenient, are not catastrophically breaking. The worst problem seems to be the one related to generating images for attachments and human verification.
My plan for now is to focus on forum stability for the rest of the evening to make sure the core functionality of the forum is humming so that I can focus on fixing the bugs tomorrow which is going to require a much deeper dive into debugging the forum code itself.
Thank you everyone for your patience, and my apologies that a few issues popped up, but I do think I'll be able to get them all sorted out over the next couple days.Dan P, Founder & President, Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association

I turned off smart punctuation in the settings...let's see if that works.

It did.
So it is definitely an issue of encoding in the table in the dB or the code that writes to that table. Before upgrade, it had character encoding compatible with smart punctuation... now it doesn't.

Posts 155 and 157 in the mask shaming thread, staylo is replicating this issue:

Turning off smart punctuation in the keyboard settings solves it. However, it always worked before. I am going to leave it off because it solves a long-standing different quotes issue I have had for years on another forum.Last edited by free; May 28th, 2020 at 11:19 PM.

The site appears to have become very unfriendly to Internet Explorer 11. It wouldn't allow me to add reputation (very important) or Reply with Quote. Frankly, I'm surprised the Reply to Thread worked.
