Actually OP it's only a certain kind of apostrophe that isn't allowed in thread titles, and it's the default one on a lot of Apple mobile device keyboards, so you have to long-press the apostrophe key and pick one of the other ones in the little menu that pops up.

Why it's not allowed in thread titles, or why Apple makes it a keyboard default, I have no idea, but they're both stupid as poo poo for it.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

I think the other poster in question (who shall remain nameless here (because I already forgot their name (just like I forgot all of their incredibly lame posts))) didn't even bother trying to turn their account off and back on again

I feel like blaming radium at this point is a disservice to all the other people who have come since and "fixed" the forums

Like where is the love for ZDR I'm sure he managed to gently caress up quite a bit while also scamming Lowtax out of like 30k or whatever lol

only the olden school character sets are permitted in titles, so you can still use teletype machines to browse at a reasonable symbol rate (300 baud iirc)
anything that goes beyond the original encoding when computers were first invented or is a nonprinting character will not be rendered correctly in titles afaik
