Upload Changed Apostrophes Into Strange Characters.

[LockedBox]

When uploading a new chapter I encountered a very strange glitch which turned every apostrophe into what appeared to be an upside down capitol Q.

It started when i wanted to upload a chapter, as I was feeling lazy and I couldn't figure out how to add hyperlinks in teh new editor. I selected the upload option form the submit chapter menu and selected the doc file. The menu then complained that it could only accept html or plain text files. I then went back to word, saved the file as a html file using the save as menu and uploaded it. The editor uploaded it with little fuss.

I went into the freshly minted chapter to check it and I found that every single apostrophe had been replaced by the strange character I mentioned earlier. I checked the htm file and there was nothing wrong with it, I've attached it along with some screen shots so you will know what I mean.

You see, it's so damn trippy I thought I was just sleep deprived but nope, it's real. It was relatively easy to fix with copy pasta and control-F but I think this should be looked into sooner rather than later.

It most likely is due to something in the HTML coding of the document causing issues. In the future might I suggest the copy paste function from Word.

Yeah that's what I did to fix it. Will copy pasting preserve hyperlinks when pasted into the editor?

The archive itself doesn't support hyperlinks within chapters, as I understand it. The url will appear, but it will not be an active hyperlink.

Bugger. Will hyperlinks be enabled later on? I wanted to make a link to my new review reply thread in my AN.

Honestly, I'm not writing the code, so I can't say. In the meantime, just have the URL there, and people can copy/paste it into their browsers. It's what most of us wind up doing.
