When quoting someone in the forums whose name contains square brackets, it will go something like this:

QUOTE([Clan tag�)
Name,Sep 7 2014, 00:00 PM]
Whatever is being quoted.
*


The code will look like this: [quote=[Clan tag�]Name,Sep 7 2014, 00:00 PM]

It's not a big issue, but if it's an easy fix then maybe it's worth doing it. I guess the square brackets in the name is interferring with the quote code itself.

ya, something like 'DoD_Brewster" doesn't trigger the bug :P

Also, admins, is there a way NOT to circumvent word filter via formatting, pls? Lorenzo seems to have developed the ingenius yet tasteless knack for circumventing those here

The problem is that the admins allowed square brackets in the first place. Though I'm surprised Robo never bothered to write a scrip that adds additional characters to the name when handled by the database. I wonder what happens when some changes his username to ' or '1'='1
