this thread, my first reply It looks exactly how I wanted it to look. I manually typed & g t ; for >, etc. Click quote (as the OP did) suddenly that escaping is gone, and the reply has the actual html in it.

I don't know about the forums handling of the escaped characters, but you could have (and probably should) just use code or source tags as appropriate to post code examples of that sort. Check the FAQ if you don't know how - I'm pretty darned sure you do, but if anyone else has similar problems and stumbles on this thread the link may help them. [wink]

I posted about the same bug not too long ago (HTML Character Codes), but mods/staff/etc never responded so I don't know if they saw it.

Source boxes help in some situations, but in general this is a bug that needs to be fixed. It looks easy to fix as well - replacing & with & when pulling up the post to edit)should fix it (I think).

All that's required is changing "&" to "&" when the post is edited or quoted.

While we're on this topic I'd like to point out that "Style" is replaced with "style" throughout the entire post when it should only touch tags.
