I'm not seeing quotation marks or apostrophes on some people's entries for some reason. It makes it very hard to read stories. I'm guessing it's maybe only posts composed in Word or maybe with a program like Semagic. It doesn't seem to be on my own posts, I can read them fine. The quotations and apostrophes look like periods or dashes. Sort of like .Jack,. The Doctor.s voice said. It's hard to read. Any suggestions on what the problem might be and/or how to fix it?

ETA: It looks like this if that helps anyone.

Excerpt is from [livejournal.com profile] donutsweeper's journal, a story that can be found here.

HAve you tried changing the journal style?

I have no idea if it'll help or not (I doubt it) but try adding ?style=mine after the .html in the web addy

Nope, it didn't help, but that's for the suggestion. It's on your journal I really notice it. It looks like this (http://donutsweeper.livejournal.com/64878.html?#cutid1). I'm using your journal as an example in my entry, but if you don't want that, I'm happy to take it down. I've included a link to the original entry that the screencap is from as well.

I lied. It totally does work when I put your suggestion to use. I wasn't doing it properly before. It reads fine on my style. I wonder why that is?

LJ hasn't been fed its donuts lately? At least you've figured out how to fix it!

Sorry for the spam, but it might help if I gave the right link to the problem. here (http://i29.tinypic.com/2gxpmpu.jpg). Last time, I promise. :D
