Actually, the apostrophes are not turned into quotation marks. They're simply doubled. If you, for example, put
don'''t in your profile for your signature, what you get is
don''''''t (all apostrophes). Copy your signature, paste it into a word processor, and try to put a space in between the apostrophes—you'll be able to.
As you can see, my signature doesn't have this problem. That's because there's actually an easy way around it. Notice the difference between these: " and “ and ”. Fonts such as Arial (the one this forum uses), which were designed for the Internet, use the first of those quotation marks by default because browsers cannot tell which of the other two quotation marks to use when (like word processors can). What the forum does to your signature is double all of the ' that you use; if you use ’ instead, it no longer gives you any trouble. Try it!
Lizard Dude’s sig is my favorite.
