I just noticed when I go in non text edit and do something like *:*smoker:*) (with no * of course!) it shows up fine in the preview, but then when I post it goes :smoker:) of course....

Hope that is clear, anything to be done?
 
yeah - but how come preview handles it and display gives up? Should be same parsing, no?
 
The preview is a complicated beast as it often will try to parse code as you type it etc. etc. I won't even try to work out how they do it :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
