The apostrophes change into apostrophes? I don't get your problem.

It's an error with coding. I had the same problem myself in web design at school.

The apostrophe turns into "'" because of an error. In Html all apostrophes are displayed as "'" and I assume it happens for a similar reason.

Oh, well that's ironic. It looks like the random characters are converted back into apostrophes on the forums. I have an example under "AIM" on my profile if you want to see.

Sooo... The ' you have under AIM is supposed to turn into an apostrophe? Is that what you're saying, or did I misunderstand?

Disregard that last post. Salvidian has & # 3 9 ; under his AIM, (minus the spaces between characters), and it creates an apostrophe in the forums. Pretty awesome, if you like taking the long way to make an apostrophe.
