I tried to make a link with a Custom title, comment #3606641, but it didn’t really work XP. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Looks like whatever you used to make those quotation marks added in non-standard ” instead of standard ".

edit: To be clear, the difference is that the former is a unicode character, also represented as "\”" in html, whereas the latter is vanilla ascii 0x22, also represented as "\"" in html.

Did you type them from an iPhone? As Notme said, ” is the wrong mark, but iPhone did an update that fucked up the quotations...

“” is our new ones while
"" is the right ones.

iPad, but I guess it’s the same problem. Is there a way on iPad or do I need to connect with my computer?

Copy and paste my latter quotations. They still work, so as long as you use them the DText will still work.

Btw, if you are on an Apple device as well, do you know of a way to post youtube links, since the youtube app doesn't have/show an URL?
