Bug

Every once in a while while using this board, I'll have this happen. I'll try to quote someone, but instead of what it should display at the top of the message (for example, "[quote]Venomfan wrote..."😉 it will display something like "

sorry, doesn't look like that worked?

I wrote the full message. I edited the message to add the missing part when I saw it wasn't there. And the first mesage still isn't displaying. This board obviously has it in for me today. Give me a moment.

You know, I don't know why this is happening. I'm having more trouble reporting the damn problem than I've had with the problem itself. Basically, it replaces the "[quote]x wrote" part of the message with the number five, followed by a left curly bracket, followed by the last few letters of x's name.

And when I tried to manually change the code, the entire message came out blank. And I can't send pms when I have this problem, because in addition to messing with the code, it causes my computer to tell me that certain fields that are very obviously filled aren't, and that I can't send a pm until I've filled those fields, which I can't because they're already filled, and it's a huge annoyance.

you what now? can ya give a screenshot?

No; I don't know how to take screenshots.

you got a button on your keyboard for that 😉

No, but I figured it out on my own (by using my computers help feature; would that all problems were so easily solved). Tragically, it was saved as a .tiff file, which I can't attach.

Okay, here we go. It should read as follows:

[quote][i]XXXXlion wrote on ...

Instead, I get what you see

that never happened to me ... hmmm... delete your temps and cookies perhaps?

clear cookies and temps, restart, try again 🙂
