I am not sure if it is a bug, but maybe as a feature request:
Could it be arranged for the post parsing code to not eat angle brackets ""- being able to use square brackets would be nice too, but I would expect that to be more difficult.
Edit: it seems that maybe they sporadically get eaten with other stuff
[not really] - it's your browser that eats angle brackets. angle brackets are the basis for html, and have always been unprinting since the early days. modern browsers are quite well behave and sometimes show them only if they don't balance (i.e. have a partner) like this<
Since we don't want to entirely disable html for those who wish to use it in their posts, you will need to use the html escape code whenever you want an angle bracket the escape codes are & l t ; and & g t ; without the spaces. LT and GT stand for 'less than' and 'greater than'.
Wow - that was a huge job. I think I finally got all common image tag types displaying properly, and users' links working, and image size attributes served. Phew.

Hope that's fixed now. It's a jungle in there. This all arose as a result of the difficulties of inserting width/height attributes into the wide variety of ways of embedding images.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Well done - still having some odd problems where it just refuses to show one picture no matter what I do with it for example this post actually has 4 photos in it but only 3 are showing https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/606131
Brian, you have been a terrific help - thanks - I really appreciate your patience and bug reports - no pun intended. The problem was that the image size had been stored, for some reason as 0,0. That won't happen again. Amazing pictures by the way!

Thanks for that - wondered what was going on as I couldn't even get them to show as single posts- they just disappeared

Oh, "duh" I totally forgot about that. While on this subject, do the posts have a subset of html, or everything?
What changed? You weren't meant to notice anything. Under the bonnet it just shrank a few k. And you can show it a second time in the page for only a handful of bytes.
Well, all of a sudden in Safari it is dropping down and giving the entire list, not truncated at the bottom, requiring a scroll to see the rest. Also some spaces in between categories that weren't there before, I think.
Then again, maybe I'm remembering how it looks on the 'work' PC?

I did put the extra line in. There may have been an error in the previous version that truncated it.
On PC and Firefox, the dropdown does not show all boards at once. You need to scroll to see them. It does not happen in IE.
That is how it worked before as far as I remember...
