Trouble with quick reply altering SPIN CODE quoted in posting.

Phillip Y.

I was posting a quick reply and including some SPIN CODE, it was alterd after I hit SUBMIT.
Here is an example that is cut from the proppler tool and pasted here,

· blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]0].start(@cogStack1)
· blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]1].start(@cogStack2)
· blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]2].start(@cogStack3)

I will use Preview before posting to check this now.

It looks correct, now I will submit this and the follow up with a quick reply of the same thing to show the differences.

Now the quick reply,

blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]0].start(@cogStack1)
blinkers.start(@cogStack2)
blinkers.start(@cogStack3)

Phillip Y.

They are different !

It appears that the quick reply isn't doing a very good job of filter out the metadata used to store emoticons in the message. It uses a syntax that is marked by square brackets. If it was working correctly, it should filter out text in sqare brackets only when it matches on of the emoticon metatags. It looks like it's just looking for sqare brackets (most of the time) and killing off the text.

Thanks for spotting that error.

Now·I used the #·to get·this blue box below·for my code.

  blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]0].start(@cogStack1)
  blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]1].start(@cogStack2)
  blinkers[noparse][[/noparse]2].start(@cogStack3)

But this is only·through "post reply" , things were only being alterd in quick reply.

I will just skip quick reply and use post reply instead.
I like the blue boxes for clarity.

Hey, I just did a Preview before posting, and the blue box example·is not displaying properly in the post preview area,
or the first line "Now·I used the #·to get·this blue box below for my code."
