Can anyone tell me why I am not able to use an ampersand symbol in my post title now? We use to be able to use this symbol.

It's one of the latest glitches. It was changing the titles to be &amp anyway, so that looked dumb. BTW, google doesn't read &'s or other symbols well, so it's best to try to avoid. use "and" when you can. I would just say B and B.

I've been looking at some of my posts on Sand & Refinish. I see wordpress converted automatically to and so that is good. I've made some text edits, too.

I have not used it so have not noticed. I guess it is a glitch.

Rebecca, I'm guessing this is a glitch related to one of the recent updates as I've seen "funny" stuff with people who do use an ampersand in their name or post.

There are a lot of bugs in the system. The & sign is often used in code so it is possible that it is stripped out.
