Unauthorised interference with my posts Options

[Brian Chandler]

I just made a post which the forum software mangled. I wrote (spelling out): left-parenthesis t m right-parenthesis. The forum software changed this. I do not like having what I write buggered up by crappy software, so is there any chance you could switch this particular piece of stupidity off?

In this case it didn't matter too much, but I would like to be free to write using conventional expressions, which includes all sorts of things the peanut-brain authors of this rubbish just forgot to think of. If I write a mathematical or pseudomathematical expression e=mc^2, whatever, I don't really want it messed up.

Thank you.

I think you ought to change your handle to Key-Shoat (Quixote).

What is this :xxx:java script:... stuff?

Anyway, I don't have a 'handle'. I'm me.

"What is this :xxx:java script:... stuff?"

Dunno. I just clicked the little symbol and that's what I got.

You boys should stick to the plain text lo-fi version of this board, and leave the smilies to the experts.

Brian,

At the moment I can't even find where to disable this, so I'll have to do some digging. I think its buried in the code. Since we don't really need to worry about TradeMark stamping things on the site I'll disable it whenever I find it.

Old thread, I know.

I just had this happen to me. I typed Javascript (I typed it as one word) and it split it in to two words.

It was in this thread: http://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=1449&hl=

It's strange that it hasn't split the word in to two in this thread.

Typing JavaScript or javascript isn't the problem. Typing j avascript: (or J avaScript: or J aVaScRiPt: or ...) is the problem.

I added a space in my examples above. Without a space, they all get converted to the same thing: Typing java script: (or java script: or java script: or ...) is the problem.

Are you saying it's because of the colon?

[pandy]

Are you saying it's because of the colon?

Do you have a problem with yours?


JavaScript:alert('Boo!');

It seems that is what Darin is saying Jim.

I still not sure why Invision does this though.

[jimlongo]

Funny, but since you're asking . . . the colonoscopy I had this afternoon was negative

[Darin McGrew]

TMI!

[pandy]

If you are not joking jimlongo, I'm glad for you. Well, I'm in a pretty good mood in case you were joking too.

java script:alert('Boo!');

How did you make that work in your post, with entities?

By putting my leet skillz to work, obviously.

thanks, it's a routine screening nowadays . . . I urge anyone born before the Cuban missile crisis to look into it. It's not so bad and in some ways an interesting experience.

Well, I'm in a pretty good mood in case you were joking too.

then I'm happy with both results!

If you don't tell I will pout.

I had to go down about 20 references to find the TMI you were talking about.

Entities don't work. I seriously have no idea how Pandy pulled that off. People have been trying to do that with IPB forever.

You have got to tell us how you pulled that one off!
