I tried to show dollars in the introductory comments of my parody submission yesterday, but what I wrote as $3.3 million showed up as .3 million on the preview.  I adjusted it to 3.3 million dollars, but how do you get the $ and the following character to appear?

Good question, John. I was thinking this was perhaps another Microsoft Word problem, but it isn't. Perhaps the US dollar has devalued to the point where the symbol is meaningless now.  :D

I looked to see if there was an entity for the $, but there is not.

... so you're thinking the solution is to get Alan Greenspan back as Fed Chairman?

I did a test submission, and it goes in ok with the dollar sign in all the fields, it's just the preview that's broken.  I'll fix the preview function.

and now it's fixed!

simple mistake on my part, used the wrong kind of string replace in a template.

and now it's fixed!


Thank you very much, Chucky.  You are the man!
