"Just noticed reading an Entry the footnote appeared on the next line while it should be attached to the previous sentence.

because you don't have one?Surely you jest!

The rendering processes makes it the question mark is a soft break, so it is allowed for the following footnote to go to the next line.

Nothing serious, just an oddity. Solution: change page-window width. "

Ah, that's one that is in the Update forum. Therefore it is currently 'curator-proof', and there is nothing I can do to fix it. Sorry.

That's right, the curators can only meddle with entries that have full-fat Edited Guide Entry status. Anything that is 'pending', 'recommended', 'help', or is a common or garden guide entry, or any other category of entry that you care to think of we can't touch.

"I know, just did not expect to find curators fixing technical bugs. smiley - silly

The Curators are technicians curating Edited Entries ?

My option in replacing the question mark will also not work out smiley - erm ( Just tested )"

The question-mark + footnote looks fine to me. Though I can imagine it going wrong at a different page width. It's not anything which could be fixed by editing the entry anyway - apart from putting the footnote inside the question mark perhaps (which wouldn't be ideal). It's something requiring rewriting of the underlying style coding (eg adding a nbsp, which would look bad) - or perhaps even changing HTML and all browser software (ie not possible).
