Apostrophes changing to asterisks

[carrguy1]

Whenever I post or comment or reply or anything like that any of my apostrophes get changed to asterisks. It’s been happening for probably a few years now. I remember reading something about it here after an update or something like that. I tried searching and only found one old thread from 2020 with no real help in it. I just figured I’d ask about it and see if anyone had any thoughts or ideas. It happens when I post using my iPhone 13 Pro Max but it happened on my last phone too, an iPhone XR.

Examples where I’m posting apostrophes:

What’s
I’m
We’re

I also noticed when I try typing three periods in a row it replaces that with an asterisk as well… like this.

Now I guess the forum is making me a liar. Lol. Everything I just posted above looks fine. But I posted a little earlier in the latest Oaks show thread and it gave me asterisks.

Edit: but if I edit this post and add apostrophes it*s making the asterisks.

I*m we*re I*ve person*s

Three periods: *

Further testing. It seems if I crate a post/reply and preview it beforehand then post it the apostrophes stay. If I don’t preview it they become asterisks.

I’m using preview post before submitting it here.

I’m
You’ve
We’re

About 80% of the time, when I click the back button on my mouse, it goes back two pages, not one.

When I post from my iPhone or iPad I get asterisks.

When I post from my laptop I get apostrophes.

Not worrying about it for a while now.

I can assure you that it isn't the website, it is your device's ability to translate text correctly and send it.

These iPhones, Android phones, iPads, and tablets use a fucking calculator processor as a CPU. And the script kiddies punching out the code for the software have a 9th degree blackbelt in stupidity.

It only happens to me when I post on my iPhone or copy and paste from an outside article.

What did you post this response on ? Your font is tiny.

I'm on my laptop with my signature CS/3 font. When I view this on my iPhone, the signature font displays as regular.
