Posting messages in this Forum: CODE Tag does not properly handle slashes!
Permalink
Hi,
I tried to post a longer error report using 3 different browsers. It just hangs on the spinning wheel, every time. What's wrong with the forum software or the server?
After trying various versions of the message, I discovered, that it would only post after removing all the *slashes* from the error messages, in spite of those being quoted in a code tag.
The code tag should be able to handle all characters! Also, I really don't like it when software fails without giving any error message to the user.
I attached the original message, which would hang every time when trying to post.
Regards,
Christian
