I think it's doing this to special characters.

For example whenever I post a fada (fada over the i - ? ) it turns to a question mark. Editing the post works though.

Yep, still happening for me too. Mentioned it a week or so ago.

If you edit your post immediately after posting and change the ? to a Euro symbol, the change will actually work.

Hey all,

Sorry it's taken a while to get this sorted. Won't be this week unfortunately, but hoping to have a full fix out very soon!

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
