Working on a few things that require resetting everyone to same theme. You can reselect the theme you prefer with the button upper left.  Should be done in a day or two.

Yes I had to reset it again, but it is working fine.

When I go to edit, all the m-hyphens and quotation marks appear as %u2019, or some such.
And, the menu for font size etc disappears.

I noticed this when reading a few posts.
So it was only happening in edit?

Here's an example.
Mitz

I have lost weight, although Im not convinced that is  necessarily a good thing, because it was/is all LBS-diet. (?!)
I know there are no guarantees for reconciliation.  But it was words that came out of XHs own mouth that made me realize I need to do this, or to die trying.  Because I will never regret going to my grave having done exactly what I%u2019d promised to do.  And to live, and to die, with integrity.
I choose to live this way for me, but more for S16.  It is of utmost importance to set an example - one of commitment.  That will make this all worth it.
Again - I pray that my family will be in awe and not just crazy.

I would guess that the post was typed in a word processor and copied into the post editor.  This will sometimes include characters or formatting codes that the editor won't recognize.  %u2019 is a unicode character code (right single quotation mark).  Posts must be plain text.

I had several back and forth PM's with Acorn on this too trying to weed this down. She uses an iPad to post but the Word Processor/Text Editor issue with Unicode is the likely culprit.....

For those interested, for example, the "New Paragraph" formatting command in the French version of MS Word is <Ctrl-P>  If you open a long French Document in an English or German version of word and have Visual Basic Macros enabled, your printer will start spitting pages at you because in nearly ALL other versions of MS Word, <Ctrl-P> is the Keyboard shortcut to "Print." (Experience is a hard teacher sometimes  ;) )

A "friend" will not "stand by you" no matter what you do. That is NOT a friend. That is an enabler. That is an accomplice.
A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

OK, Voila! We have a winner.....
Sir, the Inline Editor is doing the conversion to Unicode... If one edits an existing post.... it is converting certain things to Unicode... See Below...

In the original post below (which I killed - Sorry Acorn) Acorn put a cute little Heart Emoji at the end. I wanted to do a test so I clicked in "Edit Inline" and PRESTO! the heart is replaced by Unicode without me doing anything....   I think we found a culprit...

I forgot to acknowledge and thank all the people who have posted on my thread in recent days. 
How rude of me!  I apologize.

THANK YOU! %u2764%uFE0F

Sorry! I killed your heart by accident!  BUT... It does give a HUGE clue to the Gobbledygook problem..... Oh Sir Osis!

I knew it was some sort of unicode thing only because I used to have it happen to me in Arachnophilia when I copy and pasted.
Acorn had said it happened when she was editing.
Is only the in-line edit that does it?
