Something''s wrong with [-brackets

Wed Oct 12, 2005 4:17 am by zazie

I posted four or five times today - and EVERY post was messed up with the [ brackets.
Example: (using { here instead of [ for showing it):

I wanted {i} a word in italics {/i} turned out to have all the text in italics following the first {i}

{url=blabla} Link {/url} were changed: the Forum Software added a {/url} by itself at the end of the text. I.e. all the rest of the text was highlighted as a link then.
After editing one wrong {/somewhat} all other {somewhat} and {/somewhat} were gone.

Please check: I think there is a problem how the Forums software handles the LAST } . And I am NOT talking about the usual difficulties to show the opposite of [ on TLR.

I am 99.99999% sure that I put the right code in the other posts after I had to edit one long post at least four times. But still the posts looked f*cked up.

I am using IE6 and XP Pro

Last remark: when I tried to upload this new thread about four hours ago the server was down. I don't know if this is only coincidence.

edit: testing

Brackets are tags and the amount of things you can do is very limited to prevent flooding. Bargib is very clever, yes!
So if you try to put anything in, other than what the forum codes allow or even an example of an ini file adding the second "left" facing bracket it automatically gets deleted because the script thinks you're trying to add something that isn't allowed.
If you use what is allowed it will work but like I said it is very limited in this version of the forum software.

What is allowed...
Bold
Italic
Image
Link
Code

Currently Arcon is working very hard on new forums and recoding the entire site.

I know - and that's why I openend this thread. I ONLY used forum code (Links, italics) but all posts earlier today got screwed up. And I just wanted to tell the Mods/Arcon that there could be something wrong with a new version/test whatever.
If there is no new version/testing around yet then just forget it.

If you want to have a closer look: I had to edit this post at least four times

If you use the italics tags and then click "edit" - you will find that the tags are now "corrupted" - you will need to correct them. Its been a long standing issue for, well, ever.

As for url, you have to use the closing tags otherwise it puts them in itself

On acasion, the Link set up does not work. I have had that problem too, helping to link others threads. Some times it work and others it doesn't.
