I just logged in on MAL and saw this:



Also some of the stuff in my about me looks weird.

It looks so messed up. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is this happening to more people? I would appreciate some help. I've tried restarting my browser (Opera) and using a different one (IE), but it's the same. I didn't even change anything :/

Thanks.

MAL developers are probably still programming those parts of the site

they are improving the site again

this will not be a permanent problem

i really wish MAL have a testing ground websites where they can test changes without us users seeing and freaking out with this unfinished code/programming

Yeah, it's definitely a MAL problem. I hope they fix it soon :/

I'd be happy if they just said in the forums that they're trying stuff and that there might be glitches due to that.

Thank you guys for the replies.

We updated some of our bbcode, along with pushing a few functions, today. It seems there are a few bugs we missed squashing during testing. This happens and it's not the end of the world. Thanks for reporting your issues and we'll get it straightened out.

Right now, I'm aware of:
1. BBcode 'leaking' into PM inbox/sentbox previews.
2. Quoting other users borking the HTML special chars (", etc.)
3. Direct links becoming HTML.

Anyone who hasn't updated their signature since pre-Crave BBcode change days, will have a gobblygook sig as well. That you will need to update to proper BBcode on your own.

@Clockwerk: Your profile seems fine to me?

Yeah, the problem with the profile had to do with the BBCode being updated, so I changed something and it looks perfect now. I'm glad to see admins are working on the other stuff though :)

Thank you!

I have the same problem with my profile,not everything is hidden in the spoiler button as it should be and I haven't edited it for weeks. Is it because of these recent updates? How can I fix it?

Yeah, it's just like Shishio-kun said.

Quotes seem to be glitched as well.


@LittleRobin I'd suggest saving your about me in a notepad and try to change some of the BBcode there since MAL BBcode has been kind of changed.

Mod Edit: Merged double post.

You need to have:

Since the tags aren't closed in the correct order, the BBCode breaks. The old spoiler buttons were just more forgiving of mistakes.

Apparently, the problem is in [img]: it considers all following text as an image url now

you guys need to get one thing straight:

codes do not work anymore. i mean, i think it is now working the way it's SUPPOSED to.
therefore, text links, images will not work in code anymore.
so anything that you will enter in code will only appear as bbcodes.

I see.
Maybe it applied to already written reviews when the changes were made and the bugs started appaearing, still weird that review has bold in it.
I have seen some other, not new, reviews will bold sections that didn't seem random at all (stuff like "Story", "Animation", etc on the top of a paragraph) so I was also wondering if maybe using stuff like *, ~, or whatever made them bold.
I guess it'll be sorted out soonish anyway.

Are there any solutions/alternatives for this? I want to add space before one of the headers on my profile but since I can't use <code> now is there some other way to do it?

Youtube videos' BBCode being change was rather unnecessary, it'll now load a video even if the code is invalid.

code: ______



Plus, it seems like if you don't close with the [/yt] then it'll "absorb" the whole post until you close it.
This should seriously be changed, BBCode shouldn't work unless it's closed.

It could be a good thing since images something have stuff like commas and whatnot messing up the URL and MAL couldn't process it (not sure if it works now tho lol) but it's still poorly implemented at best.


Also, unrelated to all this, could I ask for the "BBCode Help" link on the Edit Message page to be moved to after "Submit", "Preview" and "Delete", I usually press Tab and Enter to hit Submit but now I have to Tab twice.

And is BBCode ever disabled? Seems kinda redundant for the message to be there.

Yet it doesn't seem like this works:
[spoiler= "1"][/spoiler]
Notice the space there.


Also, is there a good reason why BBCode keeps insisting on having us continue on the same line or it'll make a double Enter? I think it's time we move past that.

Actually doesn't seem like it matters what you put in there, in the first part anyway, you still have to close the BBCode without putting extra characters in there (though spaces seem ok).
And literally just stopped (start/fixed?) working as I'm messing around with it. :P Guess not, still doesn't matter what you put in there.
