What's with the slashes?

cosmicearthgirl	Date: January 10, 2006 @ 5:52 AM Please tell me that even though I see a slash before every single apostrophe (/')I write in a dnote, that the person I am writing to is not seeing it. Please. Screenshots available on request.

shadowself	Date: January 10, 2006 @ 12:02 PM Don't worry about it, the recipient sees the note displayed as it should be. Many programming languages see the single quote as part of the code as opposed to something that you want to display, so the slash is an "escape" to ensure that it is displayed instead of used as code.

zedsalt	Date: January 11, 2006 @ 11:07 AM I'm glad to hear that this regards a relatively minor glitch. When I first read the thread title, I though it might involve minions of little shirtless guitarists with top hats perched on their huge 'fros, cigarettes dangling from the corners of their mouths, Les Pauls hanging down by their knees... Don't get me wrong; I think the world of Slash, but when you start talkin' a herd of 'em, it gets creepy.

hazydayz	Date: January 11, 2006 @ 6:10 PM its not actually a bug, though they COULD strip the slashes. I assumed they thought that people READING the messages was more important then people sending it
