Forums bbcode broken?

I've recently noticed that Jason's sig (hi

) is broken - is there something wrong with bbcode or something?

Hm.. I guess.. Although I'm not keen on bbcode in sigs (think: larger fontsize, bold, etc), [url] should be fully allowed.

Most likely something got broken when upgrading phpbb 1-3 days ago. I'll take a look when I've got some time.

Agreed, it's yet another reason why I prefer IRC to msn :/

They must've changed something.

Try this in the normal post box (use the preview button mkay

):

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.microsoft.com/]Test[/url]

[url=http://www.microsoft.com/]Test
Test[/url]

You'll notice the first one (single-line) works, but the second (multiple lines) does not.

BBCode is strict enough on tag parsing as it is (eg BBcode only converts complete tags, and "screws up" when you try things like putting tags inside a tab marker, which can be kind of abused so that something like [b]blah[/b] would show up as blah) - they must've added something so that tags are only complete if they are in one line (iow, url, b, i, u, and maybe img even). Obviously this isn't the case for quote/code/list

.
