No issues here.  How often are you seeing it?

Quite often. At first I thought it had something to do with the forum being busy, but now I've noticed it only happens when I try to submit codeblocks. And only perticular ones. In a thread in App Design I could post all but one of about 5 methods, no matter how often I try. This is not the first time though.

It happens on 'post', 'save' (as in edit) and 'preview'. I'd show you the code it happens with, but I can't post it (Duh).
FF javascipt debugger tells me this: "[nobbc]document.forms.postmodify[i].name has no properties[/nobbc]".

How that causes re-initialization beats me, but it only shows when the error occurs.

Plus, can someone fix the fact that BBcode is parsed, even when endtags are omitted?

Above should be: document.forms.postmodify[b][\i][/b].name (but without slash).

Edit: hey, that means I found two bugs in one thread...  :P

I'm going to guess the first one is a result of a bug in the AJAX code.

I figured that much later.

As far as the second... most people probably want it parsed without the end tag because they're lazy.  It's kind of a catch all.

Bleh.  :-\ That is just 'wrong'. Maybe that would be less of an issue if the 'post submittal' text editor worked better.
Not many people know about this BBCode, but use the nobbc bbcode:
[nobbc][nobbc]bbcode [b]you dont[/b] want to be [i]parsed[/i] here[/nobbc][/nobbc] (note this is wrapped in nobbc tags)

Actuall result:
[nobbc]bbcode [b]you dont[/b] want to be [i]parsed[/i] here[/nobbc]

Anyway why you complaining to us. Its not our problem its down to the SMF team. However I do preferer BBCodes parsers that parse BBCode tags in pairs, rather than parsing single BBCode tags.

Why is that wrong?  What kind of logic leads you to think that something should not be parsed if you leave off the end tag?
[/quote]

Well, I quess I'm looking at it as an 'element node', like in X(HT)ML. Plus, I (the vistor in general) am more likely to forget to include an endtag, resulting in the markup being applied to the rest of my post wich I did not intend, than to deliberately omit the end tag because I intended the markup being applied to the rest of the post (very strange sentence but what can you expect from a Dutch guy).

I think you know what I'm trying to say.

It's not a bug, but maybe it is (or can be made) a configurable option.

Good tip, thanks!

Who's complaining? I'm just pointing something out.

Ok, so maybe I was complaining a LITTLE bit  :P

I'm getting that 'people want me to shut up' feeling again. So I will.
