When you try to update the question when it has double quotes (") in it, only the text BEFORE the first quote gets put in the text field.

Steps to replicate:
1) Add a poll to a thread and make the poll question include a quote. Something like the question of the poll in here will work well.
2)Click on update for the question
3)Notice that it only has the text before the first quote in the text field

Not major, but I thought I would notify someone.

Fusetalk seems to be chalk full of this kind of thing where they don't anticipate the effects of certain characters in the input. In another thread right now there's complaint about how a certain character sequence in a signature messes up the whole profiles page. I don't mean to criticize, since I haven't written a system this big but I wonder how long it'll be before someone figures out how to manipulate sql queries and manages to log themselves in with any permission level.

I've got a problem with polls. I don't know how to "create" them. I feel stupid about it, but as Aristotle says, if you don't know something, go find someone who knows more than you about it and ask him/her (paraphrase of coures.).

So I start a new topic, click on "add poll", type in a question, add two answers, and... nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
