Edit: Problem solved. It does not work on my phone :/

I'm guessing you're on mobile. Not sure why, but quotation marks don't work on the forums on mobile.

Oh that makes sense, I am playing on a phone

It's not just phones, it's just that for some reason Sylestia forums like to eat apostrophes half the time.

So, when you submit text into a database, you have to clean it or else people can do things like post...

DROP * ");

And then all of your database tables are deleted.

Part of said scrubbing is turning !@#$(*& into their ASCII codes... such as... ' becomes '.


Well, at some point since the forums were remade and now, some people have decided to start using new ASCII codes for things like " and ' - specifically I've noticed, it's Apple devices.

Well, the forums use a built in PHP scrubbing function that I guess probably hasn't been updated for whatever new shenanigans Apple and maybe others have started using. Thus - they're being scrubbed.
