I see this way too often nowadays, punctuation marks in nested quotes that mess up the quotes because they interact with the [ or ] of the bbcode to make a smiley. I think either bb code should somehow take priority over smilies or smilies using the hard brackets should be eliminated entirely. This is a minor issue, though, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

:7 and have been slain for now, as they tend to fuck up links with port numbers (can be avoided by using url tags, but no one does that)

Is it possible to change them so they only work if there is whitespace before and after them?

Probably, can't do then though. Changing to better tags is probably best, and eventually we'll have a per-post option to disable them.

I'd suggest analyzing the risk:reward before changing any tags.

Ok I think I fixed the url problem. Reinstated the forsaken smilies.

Can someone link to a post where a square bracket smiley fucks up?

Back in the day, you could use a \ character between the two smiley characters to completely negate it and just have the characters show up instead of smileys.

For example, :\) would show up as the colon followed by the right parenthesis.

I'm not sure why it's not so anymore...they probably changed the coding or something.

Does it happen without the broken quote tag? If the tags aren't matched up it just sees it as text, so the ; [ gets converted to a smiley.

Show nested quote +
>>;;

it happens only in nested quotes, so the a person who quotes a person who quotes >>;; will fuck it up

such as above

EDIT: wait fuck it didnt happen what? i'm going to use the next few posts to test something, don't hurt me for spamming

I might have inadvertently fixed it, that's why I was asking.

But lots of times people just fuck up quote tags, so maybe it wasn't even a bug in the first place? Dunno.
