Contractions not appearing correctly in questions?
In some questions, contractions such as does not have been appearing as "doesn't" and you have as "you've". Has anyone else experienced these issues? I'm working on Internet Explorer in Compatibility View Mode to revert the website back to its older format so I can actually navegate the website.
Now that this thing has made a total fool out of me, since it has changed how I wrote it in and is now appearing properly at least on my computer, the contractions look like this (I am going to change the special characters and hope it actually stays this way this time) "Does&%17nt", "You'&%34e" etc.

The weird combination of letters and symbols is a YA glitch. It's in place of an apostrophe when people text/type on a mobile device. It's HTML code and YA has a problem recognizing it.
