How’d you get those quotation marks to live? ---

Basically Manhattan, I did it by choosing to **not** preview the thread. What’s strange is, if you use “ and ”(alt+0147 and alt+148) or ‘ and ’(alt+0145 and alt+146) it doesn’t matter whether you preview or not. Those characters work properly in topic titles. If you use “” or ‘’ in a title directly from the keyboard and choose **to** preview, anything enclosed by them will not be displayed. ---

Ladies and Gentlemen, behold. Here we see **two moderators** goofing off in their spare time. What do they do? They compare **vB quotation bugs**! I don’t know _how_ these guys can keep up this rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle! 😛 ---

That’s it. Manny do you wanna put Coldfire on **“The List”** , or shall I. If you wanna do it and take the credit, don’t forget to fill out and submit the environmental impact statement. ---

This is a test. It is nothing more than a test. Had this been an actual post you would have been advised of instructions on how to reply. ---

If you use “” or ‘’ in a title directly from the keyboard and choose **to** preview, anything enclosed by them will not be displayed. Hmm, straight single quotes worked in the post subject for me. Let me see if I understand. The bug is with the preview function. If your thread or post subject contains straight double-quotes ("), and you use preview, preview truncates the subject starting with the first " . Right? You can work around this bug in any one of the following ways:[ul][li]Instead of straight double-quotes, use single quotes or curly double-quotes as UncleBeer noted.[/li][_]Insert straight double-quotes before you click on “submit reply” just after your last preview.[_]Don’t use preview (undesirable).[/ul]Right? ---

Another option: Use preview as normal, but then hit “back” and go back to the original submission page, before submitting. The software then doesn’t know or care that you previewed. ---

Protesilaus has pointed out another alternative. Instead of using double quotes ("), use two single quotes (’’). ---

Interesting. It looks like alt+0147 and alt+0148 pasted from MS Word (version 7.0) into the subject line cause truncation (which I learned the hard way in MPSIMS). But it appears that if they’re pasted from Notepad, it doesn’t truncate.
