I believe someone mentioned this at some point, but I can't seem to find where, but the previewing of posts (and signatures) does not correspond to the html generated.

My sig was causing me problems earlier by adding extra spaces. I looked, and saw that there had been extra break tags inserted for where in edit layout I had used carriage returns. Now I'm not a fool, so I went in and manually entered the html and everything became fine again. But when I went back to edit layout (b/c I suspected that was the problem) only the raw text of the layout loaded. i.e. there was no html. Just my sig with carriage returns.

Saving that layout I figured would create this mess again. So I hit save layout and went to try to post in a thread. I previewed my post with my signature, and everything appeared fine. So I didn't post, I was just trying to preview my sig. I even sent myself a pm to see if the sig spaced out funny. Hmm nothing odd. Then I went to edit my post in Craziness about the Grid Game. If was spaced fine before I edited, but when I hit "edit post" it became doubled spaced. I just confirmed this on several of my posts.

The first time I know it was mentioned was here by both Zem and myself. Last I knew, Jesper was aware of this, and was working on fixing it, but that would probably have to be almost a month ago now I don't know if it's presenting that much of a problem for him or not, but whatever the situation, hopefully it gets fixed soon

The thing I find odd is that editing your post once will add a new lines in your signature between the rest of the stuff you have there, but if you edit the post a second time, there won't be any br tags at all

Oh, and while I'm still writing this post, maybe someone could be so kind as to tell me how I'm supposed to get the angled brackets to show in my post when I try to type an HTML tag but actually want it to show in my post. I've used & lt; and & gt; before, but when I click 'Preview reply' it autmatically changes them into those brackets

I've never seen these editing problems except the &lt; stuff, but I know line breaks can cause some problems in layouts. I just write mine in an HTML file, strip out all line breaks, and paste it into the page. As for HTML, you can stick <z> in the tag, which will cause it to show up as normal text. I can't seem to get it to work with custom titles though so I have to use the escape codes instead and change it back every time I edit my profile.

Well I'm pretty sure the problem is that in edit layout when your sig is saved the html is stripped. Then when you use edit post some buggy method of introducing breaks is used.

Notice that in the custom title the actual html is preserved when you go to save it.

edit: wait, scratch that. I just altered my sig again in editlayout.php and the html is saved. It's just if you enter nothing but text in editlayout.php for your sig, the carriage returns will be borked when you go to use edit post.

&lt; and &gt; work. The html entities are, unfortunately, translated when they're stuck in the textarea field. Or rather, they're not translated, but the content of a textarea element is treated as, well, html, so the entities are interpreted. This could be fixed by running the post text through htmlspecialchars() on previewing. This is yet another thing to bug Jesper about, even though people will bitch that it's not a big deal and no one should care. I'll leave that up to someone else.

Whoa. incomprehensibility = I'm tired. I'm going to stop posting now. =o
