For those who might be confused, there was a bug in the old version of vB that caused a problem with quotes in the thread title. If you previewed, anything in double quotation marks would disappear. So ‘Can you tell me about “Batman”?’ would become ‘Can you tell me about ?’. We’re all very glad that this has been fixed.

And I could never remember if you had to preview so they _would_ appear, or you _had_ to preview first to make them appear. 🙂
