Forum bug: Code block in a post hides 'lessthan-symbol', textm 'greaterthan-symbol'

In http://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/719680-just-starting-my-game-dev-journey/5473185/?page=1 I added a code block with some cpp code, where the first line is supposed to show

#include less-than-symbol cstdio greater-than-symbol

The “less-than-symbol” and “greater-than-symbol” are the triangular brackets, spaces around the “cstdio” word have been added here for readability.

This is how you include a standard header file in cpp. In the post it just shows “#include” and nothing else at the first line. I don't know why this happens, but my guess is bad HTML escaping. I also tried the html literal version (with ampersand, lt/gt, and semicolon) but that didn't work either.

I initially reported it with the post report system. Today I found a reply of one of the moderators, suggesting I post it here.

Another bug I encountered recently on multiple occasions was that youtube links did not embed properly, instead turning into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsf2_Au6KxU turns into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frameborder:

Also addressed this.

Apologize.. think some of the newer elements in beta are creeping in. These should all be fixed although the editor preview for a youtube link might still be broken (longer fix).
