Whenever I'm on mobile, apostrophes and quotes disappear upon posting in the forums. Has anybody else had this issue, and if so how do you fix/ get around it?

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.

I have literally no idea what that means.

I don't get it 100% either, but basically I think it means certain devices (Apple) are now using different codes for the same thing. But the code the site is based on doesn't use the different version, so they don't show up.

Either way, it is a known issue (not just affecting you), and I don't think there's a solution yet.

Nope, I can do quotes on mobile.
