Small question...

I was wondering in a thread... why do i always get a question mark instead of an apostrophe when i post?

And MC answred...Turn off smart quotes.

How do i do this?

I could be wrong, of course, but it's a common problem if you happen to use Word for Windows. I don't have Word for Windows myself but I think the Smartquotes doohickey can be found in the Format menu, under Autoformat. You need to uncheck a box IIRC.

Or, alternatively, since you might want to use smart quotes for Word documents, if you're going to compose posts outside of the browser use Notepad instead.
