Long time lurker first time poster, I suppose it's time to make myself known in some way. Hello to you all.

Thanks!

One quick question, what in the world is happening with some posts where it seems like some words or spaces are turned into this ****9038, a bunch of asterisks and then a bunch of random numbers?

Usually I think it's the result of a copy/paste of formatted text from another source, where the formatting is incompatible with regard to certain symbols and punctuation marks... so things like apostrophes don't copy/paste as simple text and get turned into ***8217 or something similar when the forum software tries to reproduce them. There was also an issue here with Cyrillic alphabet characters a while back IIRC, but I don't know if that's still the case.

Alright, it's just that the last time I visited the forums (Feburary:o), these didn't seem to be present, unless my memory is serving me wrong.
