I originally found a problem where my posts were being truncated after a single quote or double quote. I tracked that down to an anomaly with vBulletin caused by Apple's "Smart Punctuation" replacing straight quotes with curly quotes. That problem was identified and solved.
It turns out that ANY special characters can cause this problem If you copy and paste a string from a device that has the degree symbol, the text will be truncated at that symbol. If you copy text from a webpage, many of those have nonstandard quotes and apostrophes. I have written several posts over the last few days, only to find out a substantial portion of what I wrote did not save due to that issue.
There are a number of threads on vBulletin and other forums discussing this. It seems to affect everyone going from vB3 to vB4 or vB5.
