<CANTR CHARDESC> disappears from character description

[AmateurHistorian]

I hope this isn't a duplicate. I read the list of known bugs and searched the whole forum, and the only reference I found to this problem was two years old.

When I initially enter a character name and put (<CANTR>) at the end, it works as expected. The character description displays correctly on the EVENTS, PEOPLE, and other pages. But when I go to the character page to edit the name, <CANTR> is gone, leaving just () at the end. I have to reenter <CANTR> every time.

There's even a problem with using the word C H A R D E S C (minus the spaces) here. Look at my first posting. Everywhere that you see <CANTR>, I entered it as <CANTR>.

[AmateurHistorian]

Damn, it did it again. Apparently when I put C H A R D E S C -- with or without the spaces -- inside the enclosing <>, the forum software deletes it.

well, bug or not in game, this has always been an issue for me, ever since I can recall... if you edit, it needs to be put back in.. dunno why.. but it certainly isn't a new issue, just don't know if it has ever been brought up before.

If you put Anything inside <> on the forum, it destroys everything but the first word. Not so funny when you are trying to show code that includes "less than" and "greater than" statements.

Ohh... That explains why <a_href> </a> wouldn't work here.

[AmateurHistorian]

Right, I didn't think about that. OK, here's a test. I'm entering < C A N T R C H A R D E S C > again, but this time I'm clicking the "Disable HTML in this post" box. Here goes:

<CANTR CHARDESC>

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[AmateurHistorian]

Ha! If I'd just been thinking HTML the first time ... ~grin~

But I still don't have an answer on the issue in the game itself. Did I post this on the right board to be seen by someone in the programming department?

This is the right place. We have noticed. It is a bug.

[AmateurHistorian]

OK, thanks Tiamo.
