I'm not a developer, but I can replicate this error with a single quote in the Description field. Double quotes just result in the entire Description being ignored / not updated.
Steph L., any chance your description had a single quote as well?
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph L., any chance your description had a single quote as well?
It had an apostrophe -- maybe it was "read" as a single quote.
I'll go try it without the apostrophe and see what happens.
t edit It worked! ("Worked" in the sense of letting me save a description; not "worked" as in replicating the error.)
Thanks, 0!!!

When I say "single quote" I mean "apostrophe", although I suppose technically there's a difference in the publishing world. So, yeah, the error is replicated. The developer-types will probably want to do a little character-escaping on that form at some point.

0, I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? I've only seen you post a few times, and someone even asked you about yourself at one point without a reply. I'm confused about your investment in the community. Have you been lurking?

PixKristin, it's not rude to ask, it's understandable considering the small community here. I've been lurking for quite a while (I don't engage with the humans easily) and I've decided to try to become more involved lately.
I guess as far as "investment" goes, from my perspective I feel I belong here because of the time I've put in and I want to help support the site and its members as best I can. I can understand from your's and other's perspective there's naturally a bit of "whoTF is this person and what are they doing here?" because the interaction between you and me has been pretty much one-way up until now. All I can say is I'm harmless, just a bit of a misanthrope, and I hope I don't make anyone uncomfortable or generally weirded out.

Hey, lots of misanthropes here.
But two way is good!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So all this time no one used an apostrophe in their descriptions? Huh. I'll get on scrubbing that input.

Done.

0, that's fine. I don't have any problem with you lurking or posting--I was just curious because you seemed to come out of the blue without an introduction, and your poster number is high enough that you had to be relatively new. We have lots of hermity types about; no worries. Welcome.
