The last few months, when I have been posting in the forums, occasionally, everything comes out screwy.   Half of the post is coming out correct and the other is coming out  on the right side.  Also, there are ? marks in places, plus looks like an A with a hat on top.  When I try to copy and paste book info, it will not let me scroll down to type anything.   This just started about 2 months ago, and still giving me problems.

Could anyone help me out?

I had a problem posting last night if I was copying and pasting something.  I believe someone sent in feedback to the PBS team.  :)

Thanks Karen.  Maybe I should contact them about all the issues I have been having.   Normally if I have problems, other members have been giving me solutions.

I've been getting the ? in place of apostrophes, quotes and dashes when I paste info from Word.

Another problem I've been having is when I paste a book link from my TBR, RL, etc. If I just select it from one of the lists, it brings a table which messes up the formatting and putting everything to the right (the table is invisible in the post but when you are editing it and click over the link, you can see the boundaries.)

I have not been pasting from Word, so that is not the problem.  But, that is the problem I am having from copying and pasting from TBR, etc.   Everything is moving to the right.
