Another Dorky Question . . .
 
This one has to be pretty simple, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. :confused:
I was uploading a few of my older layouts today & can't figure out how to keep my "&"s from turning into "&"s. I've gone back to edit the images a couple of times to try to fix them . . . but to no avail. I haven't noticed that on anyone else's descriptions, so there's obviously a solution. What in the world am I doing wrong?

TIA! (I promise I'm not going to be a perpetual Stupid-Question-Asker! :D)

I'm curious, too. I started adding my credits on the second screen and it doesn't seem to do it there. I've also stopped using that character as much because it's such a pain!

I just use "and" instead of "&". :)

I'd like to learn this, too. However, when I come back and edit the text, it works for me. It's annoying to doing it though.

Hey, at least I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one :-) I'll just try to be more aware & not use it so much. Meanwhile, maybe someone will come across this thread who has the real scoop on how you to keep it from happening at all.

FWIW, I uploaded a couple more & tried waiting until the 2nd screen to add my info. On the file description, that worked. But not on the Categories. I tried a couple more times to edit those doggone "&"s out, but again it was futile.

I was avoiding using the word "and", because I was listing two kits by Misty, one of which has "&" in the title. It looked silly to type "You and Me and Chatty" when it was actually "You & Me and Chatty", KWIM? Anyway, I so didn't mean to go on about this . . . thanks a bunch for your input!

Use a comma ;) (You and Me, and Chatty)

Pretty sure this has been an issue for a long while, and I don't think there's a fix. I never the & sign, so I never run into this problem. LOL!

LOL! That's exactly what I did. I will definitely avoid using it from now on! Thx!
