What’s the go with all the “” poping up when writing a post

[John Holmes]

Fellows, are you experiencing a tonne of “” piping up within your text whenever you writing a post?

It’s freaking annoying having to edit the post to get rid of it every time.

WTF are they and how do I stop it reoccurring?

Cheers

It's an encoding mismatch issue. Whatever you're using to write your posts is encoding the text in one way, but it could be stored or display (or both) in a different way.

My posts don't seem to have that. I'm using Chrome on an Android tablet. What browser or app are you using?

I wondered why this was happening too

F##k if I know, I reckon I’ve been hacked.
Never had this problem before.
I did see another post by someone else who had the same issue.

Thanks GFman for your explanation , I know Jack about IT it’s definitely not mine forte.
I’m using Google and iPhone forever.
First time notice this issue. I reckon I’ve been hacked.

*****Update****

Bizarre that it didn’t happen for these two replies I just posted 🤔

As GoldfishMan says it's likely an encoding issue, sounds like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1461907/html-encoding-issues-%C3%82-character-showing-up-instead-of-nbsp

Is it only happening randomly when you press the space key?

I think it pops up most when people use Ai to write stuff. You see it alot from ChatGPT and things of the like. Not just on Aus99 but on people's resume they send in to my company HAAHAHA

Obviously alot of people in Aus dont have english as their first language and may be using some form of Ai to help translate

Lol, bruh... Does that mean that OP just busted himself as a troll? The only new thread I can see with that character popping up is that fake post about falling for an ML.

If when you log in you click the “stay logged in” box it doesn’t seem to happen afterwards .
