Posted a new story. Edited some. Hit save and somehow it changed quotations to question marks and took out several spaces. WTH did I do wrong?? Story was pasted from a word document. Everything looked good in edit mode.

Are you looking at the story through 'view your profile'?

That is what readers see.

Happened to a few of mine too. Sucks, even the word font format is different. I always type in Verdana or Calarbi and 14, but it posts them tiny and Time Roman.

Apparently that was it. If I look at it I'm my profile it under my stories it's all messed up. If I use the link from the new stories page it's fine. That's really messed me up. Still wish there was an edit option.

I'm not completely sure, but I've heard that posting on XNXX doesn't like smart quotes, which is the default in Word. That could explain your question marks.

Your best bet for next time is to use search and replace to "dumb-ize" (you heard it here first!) the smart quotes before copying and pasting from Word. Annoying? Yes. But that's just the way it is.

I don't know about the missing spaces, though.
