errors with BB tags in sig's

Ok, i have had some problems with the BBcode in my sig, so far i'm using three tags, [img], and . But everythime i go to chanbe soemthing in my profile for whatever reason it tosses a bunch of random numbers in the bbcode(s) and it looks something like this.

[img:2980fd972934j] it's eays to fix, but it gets annoying after a while. I've noticed it happening most often with the [img] and [quote] tag i used to have. Any reasons why this would be ahppening? and are tehre going to be any fixes for this or are we (possibly just me) going to have to just put up with this?

The problem arises when you run into the "Sig too long" situation. I think i read this some time back at www.phpbb.com

Prop, you might want to look for it there.

hmmm, i'll have to look into it later, but i don't thinkmy sig is too long ... i'll have to look into that too ...

Code: Select all

[i][b]Breathe with me ...[/b][/i]
Currently Watching: Matantei Loki Ragnarok

any ways this shouldn't be over 500 characters ... plus dosn't it stop you from making yoru sig if it's too big?

Okay, I see no problem with your image, but your text should read like this:

[i][b]Breathe with me ...[/i][/b]

The commands have to be in order, or else it won't work.

Yeah, basic rule of coding for this and html: nest codes.

weird, i remember trying to do that when i was still trying to figure out bb code. And it never liked working for me ... meh, i figured doing it like that was the opposite of nesting ... meh ... guess i got my definitions backwards ... or i'm just confused right now and i don't know it.

hey, i think it's gone. I've gone and played with my sig twice so far and it hasn't spat out any weird strings of numbers into my tags.
