| Quoting my name...
Just wondering if there's a wee bug when anyone tries to quote me. Rather than appearing as '$teve' it shows as a series of numbers... no biggie, just might become confusing for anyone trying to read it |

When I just quoted someone in another thread it seemed to cut off the "[/" at the start of the "[/quote]" tag - not sure if that could be related.

Could be that the $ sign has something to do with coding? String or something....I forget....

Probably not been set as a special characted for usernames.
Mr Suit can use RegEx to specify what special characters to be used in usernames | |

When posts are parsed for videos the $ is seen as a code variable identifier and so ends up stripped out. This leaves only the numbers (intended to link back to the quoted post).
It's not something that I'm aware of a fix for at present, as a purely cosmetic (and fairly obscure & rare) problem it may be around for a while sorry.
Note: that unchecking the "Automatically embed media" box avoids the problem (not available from Quick Reply) | |
