What I want to know, is why do the '<' and '>' tags around my bold comments in my sig get changed to '[' ']' respectively?

B e

S
"It’s da bomb, baby"

Just edit my message to see what I'm talking about. The 's were originally 's, but if I put in my sig it doesn't show up correctly at all UNLESS I edit the message and click make modifications (without changing anything). INTERESTING, HUH???

I think I figured some of this out. Since we''re mostly programmers, I''ll explain it in code...

OK, say they have a function called Convert() that replaces OR signs with slashes, tags to , : ) to <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>, etc. Whenever you post a message, it calls Convert() passing the post you entered. Then it appends your signature the result without calling Convert() on your sig. But when you edit a message and click "Make Modifications", it calls Convert() on the whole thing. That''s why the smilies in wrenhal''s signature didn''t show up until after editing (same w/ the tags.) <A HREF="mailto:lntakitopi@aol.com">lntakitopi@aol.com</A> - <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/guanajam">http://www.geocities.com/guanajam</A>

Because the signature is added without being converted. It works after you edit it because when you click "Make Modifications" everything - including your sig - is converted.

yay! it worked. i put it in my signature and it didn''t convert to \

ok, here''s a suggestion: type your whole message in your signature area, then post an empty message (it doesn''t let you post empty messages, so type an space and then enter and you''re done *L*)

btw: don''t forget to change yout signature back after u''re done...
