Re: Testing a bug
Test two. Will this post be cut off like the last one? < I bet it will.
Cheers!

Re: Testing a bug
Rightio - the bug in question is if you use the less than symbol < immediately before a character, the post is immediately truncated. I assume the forum parser assumes it's a URL tag and kills it.
Is this behaviour wanted by the geek?
Cheers!

Yes, this really is what I looked like when I uploaded that avatar. Not that it's quite current anymore.

test <a
use < to get < and you don't get the misbehavior.
It's as much an artifact of HTML encoding as of the BBS.

I think it's definitely a bug... I had a post the other day where I put [-- (except I used the real less-than character) and it truncated the rest of my post. I thought it was a glitch but now your post makes it clear that it was not.

Actually, Dave, that's explicitly proper HTML behavior... <-- is the explicit start of an HTML comment. Until it finds -->, even if the content is there, it's not supposed to show it.
In XML, any <__> is a opening tag, and if not a defined type, it's the renderer's option to hide or display as default text, or to simply hide tags, until the </__> tag that matches.
No bug there, just user lack of knowledge. As you can clearly see from my post, the < workaround does work for that, too.

Not quite right. It is <!-- and the comment is ended with -->

Actually I would class it as a bug. These forums have their own syntax. There is no reason to expect that html should work and every reason to expect that it will not. We use [ b ]..[ /b ] and not <b> .. </b> to make something bold.
