Thread Link Bug
When you use the [tid=] code (for linking to other threads), "Thread Name Not Available" is displayed instead of the name of the thread.
Here is an example from the Peanut Gallery.
(It seems to work where I used it---"Peanut Gallery" in this post---so maybe it just isn't working with older threads)

HTML Characters
Ever since the move, I've noticed that a lot of messages have non-letter characters (like apostrophes and quotation marks) replaced with jibberish symbols (like like ’ and “).
Message 121, from Anglagard's topic on fundamentalism, is one example of this.
Are other people seeing the jibberish characters too? Or, is it just me?
(I use IE)

Hi, Moose.

My impression is that this situation was equally prevalent prior to the recent software upgrade.
Yeah, I saw them earlier, too.
They didn't seem all that common before, though, so I didn't think it was important then.

dBCodes replaced with HTML?
Hi, Percy.
While trying to edit a message, I noticed that the "qs" and other dBCodes are being replaced with the messy HTML table codes after the message is posted.
What's the reason for this?
It makes it hard for me to edit typos in my messages after posting them (which I have to do compulsively, or it causes a little tick in my left eye).
