Thread Title Mis-Reads? quot

Thread Title Mis-Reads?, "
^That is what I typed into the Title Area, as you can see the comma disappeared and the " became quot.
I have noticed recently a few Titles that are not translating properly when they are made into the title of the thread.
One for example is the " sign which i believe becomes quot.
And if I remember correctly, these signs used to work properly, was there some sort of update that messed these things up?

[quote=Pavchka]I never noticed any overuse of the ampersand as well as the quotation marks either to be honest.

[quote=marksnicks]I never really noticed a problem with people using the symbols too much.
It also seems like people could cheat with this with something like "it changed to quot,it O_O[/quote]

It's stupid as hell but I sadly don't think it's changing. Instead of "fixing abuse" it just looks like a programming error.

[quote=Pavchka]Oh, "ampersand". I was already wondering what "amplifier" was going out of context in so many thread titles.
I just noticed something funny about the word filter as well. This guy posted a filtered acronym and the filter turned it into "Be quiet". I noticed when I quoted him. The text in the quote wasn't the text that showed on screen.

Ahhh, like the olden days, when "wtf" was automatically turned into "what".[/quote]

[quote=DrHye]He said certain punctuation marks were being "abused" so he either made them omitted when the thread was made, or replaced them with letters
