Escaped Apostrophes in Comments?
Yay - my first Sift Talk post! Hello to all the Sifter's out there! Anyway, enough of the pleasantries (and overuse of exclamation marks)...
Anyone else have a new problem with comments? Sometime in the last day of Sifting, whenever I post a comment the apostrophes become slashed; as in "here's" becomes "here/'s" after submission. I guess its the Ajax script escaping the apostrophes from the code - although if I edit the post they dissapear: leaving my original submitted comment.
No major bug - but a little weird none-the-less.

darksunDo you have an example of this?
benjeeTake a look at my response in your "Down Vote Comment" post below (I didn't edit it to remove 'em). And will leave this one too (here's what I mean! Unless it's just a random fault with my Powerbook's interpretation via FireFox - will have a peek on my PCs display of it to double-check).
benjeeAhhh - I've just refreshed the page after my last comments submission to find its removed all the escapes! It's just a temporary random Ajax fault afterall...

NickyPI thought my fingers had spased up. Good to know
lucky760Thank you for pointing this out, benjee. It's fixed now, and it should only have been showing the slash immediately after posting (not after reloading the page).
