| severity: minor description: When editing any forum post, the post content has all backslashes removed from the text. Backslashes in new posts are not removed when posted; only the version retrieved using ajax in the edit field. This is particularly annoying for those who post code snippets... :< steps to reproduce: click to edit this post and you will not the see backslahes below this line... \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |

| bump w/ additional info. If either your profile or signature has backslashes in them, then each time you go to edit profile or signature, the backslashes are automatically removed. This is a problem for those with bunny signatures/profiles. |

| they are stripped from content anywhere they are retrieved from the database... so that means quoting, editing, signatures, profiles, blogs, comments, etc. it doesn't strip them from the text you write and submit to the database, of course.... and since the backslashes are displayed in the forums obviously they are stored in the database. It's just the retrieval function that's stripping them... maybe they're used to escape unicode or something in the database? ....there's really no excuse though. |

| On the flip side, if you use This -----> ' <------- in a manga summary, it will automatically look like -----> / ' <------- in the preview. I think the DB has an issue with slashes >< |
| First of all, you have to write two backslashes in the title for one of them actually to appear. Every time the first message in the thread is edited, two backslashes in a row become one in the title, and if the number of backslashes is odd, the last one disappears as well After you edited General Settings in your profile, part of the backslashes in "About Me" or "My Notes" disappears (but not all). It's like this: four backslashes in a row become one; if there are less, they disappear. I'll show it with an example. My "About Me": My About Me in the General Settings after I have pressed "Save Changes": When you quote backslashes, part of it disappears. When you try to edit your own post with backslashes, part of it disappears. It's like this: eight backslashes in a row become one; if there are less, they disappear. Quote my message to see how many of the backslashes are left: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\ |
