Here is a userscript patch for the preview function that fixes the way it displays plus signs and other special characters as spaces.

// ==UserScript==
// @include http://*gamedev.net/community/forums/post.asp*
// ==/UserScript==

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
	submitform = eval('function()' + (submitform + '''').replace(/escape\(/g, 'encodeURIComponent(').replace(/function submitform \(\)/, ''''));
}, false);

I'm afraid that I cannot get it to work in Firefox; if I type &#106avascript:alert(submitform)</tt> in the address bar Firefox displays the function as expected, but if I type <tt>submitform</tt> into the error console or try and access it from a userscript Firefox complains that it's not defined. However, I have fixed <a href="http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=509605">both PM preview scripts</a> to use the corrected code!</tt>

I'm sure the other Opera user will appreciate it if they ever visit GDNet! [grin] Very cool, if I could rate you any higher I would do so.

I'd settle for one of the myriad Firefox users explaining why it doesn't seem to think submitform is defined. Opera and IE seem to agree that it is. [oh] Thanks, anyway!

What are the chances of benryves' patches being upstream'd into the actual site code? I assume slim, given that V5 is on its way, but on the flip side, V5 has been on the way for a very long time [smile]
