The horrors persist, but so do I Joined: 14 July 2013 Posts: 21,950 User: 19,534	That happened to me once this week too! Actually I think it replaced '!' with '&', but I just edited the subtitle and it was fixed.

Definitely not explained well but I hope that makes some sense (In other words, try shortening your description and see if that solves it)

is my brain across your walls? Joined: 14 February 2009 Posts: 115,078 User: 8,300	This has been randomly happening in my posts a lot recently, sometimes a random letter or symbol gets corrupted and replaced with '%_' or something. I just edit it back and it sticks but it's rather annoying especially as it tends to be in long posts so quite difficult to immediately spot.
