Bug in forum software

[kevin]

There is a bug in the forum software, when quoting someone with an apostrophe in their name like They'reOutTaGetMe, the quoting systems fails to work properly

For example, it would set it as this in the name = block of the quote tag:

'They'reOutTaGetMe'

The apostrophe in They're gets read as the closing apostrophe, breaking the correct way quoting should work.

You are right! Just dont know how they can fix that

You'd have to edit the php file (i'm assuming it is php) that handles quoting. It really isn't terribly difficult to find, but to fix idk. Maybe remove apostrophes in the name at the time of quoting?

My name is NOT Jumpin

This is exactly why this forum upgrade stinks.

[gunsguy]

Have a little patience I am sure there is a workaround....

[eRomano]

Small Forum software glitch.

The old Forum software had glitchez of it's own.

I'll submit it so they can fix it in the next update.

Thanks for taking the time to report the bug.

[kevin]

Cool, thanks.

That's what happens when former banned members use proxies so they can keep posting.

[Ms. Dewitt]

If you think I am a banned member, why not simply have your master re-ban me?

Because I don't really care enough to bother? If you're going to post with a proxy, then be smart about it and don't draw attention to it - jeez.

This again.

So what was the problem? Isn't it possible to quote someone with an " ' " in the name?

Edit: Yes, I see what the problem is. Only Jumpin on Jumpin' Jack Flash's name.
