Hey There

I just came across I think forum bug.

I just wrote replay in other topic and when I hit preview of the post It did 2 things, showed the preview blow and replaced letter O in quite few places like this:

. Seems like it replace O when it is first letter in the word in the middle of the sentence. Tho it is not much annoying as when I hit post replay it post as it should be. What is strange it does not happen everythime, rather random occurance.

It's a security feature.

As an additional level of XSS protection, Comcode contexts have "on" replaced like that just in case there was a bug down-stream that allowed a JavaScript event handler to slip through. The HTML entity makes it almost impossible that JavaScript could be parsed from it.

It's done based on privileges.

Ok so it is not a bug :) just looked like one for me so I thought I will report it.

We'll do a change - the text box input will have the HTML entity mapped back to the o/O characters so you can't see anything happening after previewing for a text box input (like with the Quick Reply).
