Posting Chart links
Posted: November 10th, 2016, 5:42 am
The old board you were familiar with used html formatting tags such as <i> </i> for italics. This board uses BBCote format tags, the main difference being that they use [ ] instead of < > to signify a tag.
This causes a problem trying to post a typical chart because the [ ] square braces are needed as part of the link. These will be seen as BBCode markers, resulting in a broken link. A typical chart address such as...
...will be broken at the first '[' character.

The way to fix this is to replace all [ characters with %5B and all ] with %5D before posting the link. These are just different ways of representing the same character, so the link will work exactly as intended but BBCode won't break it in the middle.
