    weird issue with editing forum posts

    I had to edit a forum post just now, but when I did, something annoying happened. I had used the "heart" smiley, , in the body of the post, and when I reposted, everything after the heart smiley was gone. I had to retype most of the post, and the same thing happened when I reposted (luckily I had copied the revised post). I had to replace the heart smiley to get the post to go through clean...and the same dang thing happened just now when I wrote this post. Sweet Salazar, what's going on here?

      Odd... tried it right now and it seems to work, even managed to get a working heart smiley in your post

      You didn't use 'back' to edit a post did you?

        Nope. I did hit the "go advanced" button before editing, if that makes any difference. I can try to recreate the scenario, but it'll have to wait until tonight.

          Okay. I just put up three two-sentence posts in the Test Message forum, all three prepared in different ways, all three with the heart smiley, < 3 , at the end of the first sentence. You can see the specifics in that forum. After I posted all three, I went back and added the words "Hi, Mirai!" at the start of all three. (What can I say? She has beautiful eyes. ) When I hit the "Save Changes" button, the words I added were there, but the heart smiley, and everything that followed it were gone. In all three, I inserted the smiley instead of typing it in, two as I wrote, one in pasted-in text. So, what the heck is going on when I try to edit? Until this gets sorted out, I'll avoid that smiley. Thanks.

            No idea what's causing that weird reaction, might be something deeper inside forum software.

            To work around that I've added a icon with name :heart

              And as you can see from my previous post, it works! Thanks, Franz!
