 Apostrophes and quotes won't show up for some reason. Some other punctuation marks won't show up either, I think.
Why don't they? Will this please get fixed? Does Dan still maintain and improve the game or is it on some kind of autonomous mode with no dev at the helm? I have a bad gut feeling that this is so. - Asheron _________________ Respectable beings criticize constructively. Daily missioner, NPC'er. Mylarai: enriches often.

It's most likely done to prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). There are ways of doing it where you can retain non-alphanumeric characters, but these are sometimes quite complex, and seeing as GL is "home-brew" it was probably much easier for the developers at the time to just strip everything out.

Guide explained quite well. in place of quotes .. use a period. looks kind of weird but it won.t require any more coding workarounds. _________________ Rank 3950 Litheor Governor 100% DCR r385-r2200 GL Marauder #26 _____________  PvP leaderboards: 70212 raids: #1; 40852 kills: #1; 96377 hacks: #3; |

It's not even that, it has a more simple reason. It's to prevent HTML tags |

It's to prevent HTML tags HTML tags are angle brackets, not quotes, but the principle is the same .. block browser exploits _________________ Rank 3950 Litheor Governor 100% DCR r385-r2200 GL Marauder #26 _____________ PvP leaderboards: 70212 raids: #1; 40852 kills: #1; 96377 hacks: #3; |
