I've noticed a problem with the message board system that gets really annoying when I'm trying to post code examples.
Whenever I have a backslash-escaped character (i.e. in a string), the backslash that I typed does not appear in the post. This happens regardless of whether I use [ c o d e ], [ p h p ], or no vB code tags at all.
$string = 'this single quote \' is backslash-escaped';
What I actually typed was a backslash immediately before the single quote ( \ ' ), but as you can see, the backslash is gone when you view the post. Furthermore, the syntax-highlighting feature seems to ignore the fact that the quote is escaped.
If I type two backslashes before the quote ( \ \ ' ), it comes out like this:
$string = 'this single quote \\' is backslash-escaped with two backslashes';
The syntax-highlighting seems to recognize that the character is escaped this time, but it still does not show either of the backslash characters.
