    There is a bug when posting and using the euro symbol.
    For example i am posting the below line of euro symbols which look fine when i type but when posted it turns to garbage.

    This is a post to test the "Quick Edit" option which allows the correct posting of euro symbols.

    The below line is the original post of euro symbols which will be corrupted.

    €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€


    This is an edited section and the below euro symbols will post correctly.

    Thanks for highlighting this. Looking into why the editor isn't handling them correctly.

    This is causing issues all over the site. Any quoted content with accents is appearing garbled.

    Anything posted prior to the last deployment is going to remain broken, unfortunately. However, there still seems to be some issues here to be looked into. We'll have to look at another fix soon.

    For the last week or so, I have made posts where I include a € symbol, but when I actually submit the post, it appears as a ? symbol. I then edit the post and correct it and then it's fine.

    It's done it again! When I previewed this post, the Euro symbol appeared as a ?

    Example where I haven't edited: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=103442548&postcount=1246

    We thought we had it, but it seems not 100%. Going to be looking into it again this week.

    Still not entirely resolved, I believe. Think it's a little erratic.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
