Could be some modifications that Elad did to the software. I haven't looked to see if it's happening for OPs in other forums/groups but I do know there are certain characters that get stripped out of LBN post forms (OP and Comment section) but not in the reply forms with a preview/edit.

(ETA - the "=" and "|" are examples of characters that get stripped after edits to LBN OPs)

Where did I say curly double quotes? I said curly quotes. Meaning either single or double. AZJonnie Yesterday #9

Thank you for clarifying BumRushDaShow Yesterday #11

Every font set supports a presentation of straight 'single' and "double quotes", and curly 'single' and "double quotes" AZJonnie Yesterday #12
