Anyone know how to remove the quotes in the status updates?

[Vladimir Sebastian Bach™]

There are many occasions where the status update on my site include a section where people are not actual talking but doing actions.

Example. *Vladimir lays back and stares up at the sky.* "Such a good night."

But the status updates always include " " so it looks more like.

"*Vladimir lays back and stares up at the sky.* "Such a good night."

Hi Vladimir,

This is what works for me on my site.  Put this in your Custom Code box and try it.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
// Unquote comments in activity feed, by TJ @jQueryHelp
x$('.xg_module_activity .content-comment').each(function() {
var jQH_h = x$(this).html();
var iStart = 0;
var iEnd = jQH_h.length;
if (jQH_h.substr(0, 1) == '"') iStart = 1;
if (jQH_h.substr(iEnd - 1, 1) == '"') iEnd -= 2;
x$(this).text(jQH_h.substr(iStart, iEnd));
});
</script>

Best wishes!

Well, that was a doozy. Hope everyone appreciates you taking time to write that kind of script. =)
