Does anyone know how, when I contribute to this message board, I can make my apostrophes come out properly, and not as question marks ?

Nope....

testing......the dog's run away.

well my apostrophes work ok mate-are you doing ur messages in word then cutting and pasting (i know u brits have to pay for every second you're online) because i've been told that's what causes it.....good luck in finding an answer!

I'm glad somebody finally asked that question cause I've been wondering about that for three years now

I have the same problem and it is from using word and then cutting and pasting

at least that is what Ryan said... and he is the main computer man...

Just testing this; it’s been cut and pasted in Word and there’s your answer….. .....and now this bit's in Notepad...can't tell if it's worked until you post.....
...and finally: this bit's just plonked directly in the window...can't tell what happens until it's posted...

Thanks everyone, you're right... I have been using Word, then pasting in. The trouble with typing directly into the message board is that a couple of times I've written a whole bunch of stuff, then lost it forever for one reason or another before it could be posted. That is such a waste of time, and so disheartening. Also, if I don't appear to be doing anything new on on the web for a while, my ISP cuts me off. So I try to type in a place where I can save it every so often. Thanks for your help.

..there ya go; Ryan is right...seems Word is the culprit; Notepad is OK...VERY ODD...
