Images dont appear on profile? [img] bbcode converted to html

Since this evening, for some reason images on my profile started to refuse to appear. Some really weird things is happening with the [IMG] tags, which is causing them to be changed? The odd thing is that the actual BBCode ITSELF is being altered as seen in this following image:

http://i.imgur.com/CbQSJkO.png

So as you can see, I first put in a normal image enclosed in [img] tags. Then I save the changes and go to my profile, to see that the images dont appear! Like, my "About Me" section just stays empty. Then I opened the Profile Edit menu again to see what's going on and see that the BBcode has changed... And trust me, I didn't touch the code one bit! That's how it looked when the page loaded in. aint BBcode tags supposed to remain unchanged whenever you access it again in the Profile Edit menu?

Does anyone know what's causing this peculiar issue or know how to fix it? Any tips would be much appreciated.

This is getting quite frustrating, not being able to put images on my profile, since I put a good amount of work into creating my own custom images. But now, MAL doesn't seem to allow me to show them for some reason...

Oh yeah about 45 minutes prior to this problem occurring, that Captcha nonsense has started to plague me as well. After every 2-3 times I log in, that InCapsula BS is blocking my access to the site. Refreshing the page gets rid of it most of the time, but I'm sure Captcha's are NOT supposed to invade users so heavily to gain access to this site.

Mod Edit: Added some text to title for clarity.

It's probably them doing something with the site for the whitelist. Do you have your unaffected code saved for when it's working again? If not then notepad might be able to help you with it's replace feature.

Serhiyko posted this which might be some back up for my theory.

I see. Looks like more users start to have issues as well.

And yes I have the code back up, but ALL the images with [img] tags were messed up, so that will take a while to change back again...

Like I said notepad has a replace function so you should be able to do it in less than 2 minutes. So you can replace all the messed up parts at once as long as they're the same. If you want, you can post your code and I can see if I can do it.

That would be great if you could do that. :) I'm not very known with this replace-feature, but it appears you're more knowledgeable about it. Here's the code I currently have, so you could give it a try:

Wow that was fast, thank you so much! That saved me a lot of tedious deleting and typing haha. I never knew repairing code could be that easy.

Oh well I guess now its time to wait and see what the moderators will announce about this issue then..

No problem, yeah it's pretty fast when you use notepad. It might be a good thing for you to learn, helps in other situations too.

And you might want to delete that last [/spoiler] at the end as I believe that was my accident when I was copying your code.

Yes, because in case they won't be able to fix it after all, it will be the same story as with signatures, if you know what I mean :D So if you don't plan to leave MAL and unless you want to be left with About Me section forever broken, better not to edit it

They are apparently doing something with BBCode, as putting up images using no longer just puts up the text but puts it up as a blank.

Hopefully this is the start of it getting fixed, but knowing Crave, I'm less than hopeful.

could you post a screenshot by chance of what you are talking about?

I am having a lot of issues myself and I have a theory as to what is going on and this may be another result of it. I'm currently trying to ask some other folks who have some experience in this area about what can be done so it can be brought up to the MAL gods later on.
If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident. — Hei

I put [i][/i] in between each bbcode (right here, the red mark [Iimg] using notepad's replace function which is the same thing I used to make all the code go back to nromal.
