Contemplating BBCode rewrite
I'm thinking about doing a BBCode rewrite. It seems like there are some known problems (QUOTE="author" tags in PMs and Guilds, IMGRIGHT tags, users with '[' characters in their names...)

It also seems like Gaia could use their own documentation for which BBCode tags are allowed/supported and how they are all used. We are, after all, using a version of BBCode that is (at least) slightly different from the original PHPBB BBCode and the BBCode supported by other sites.

Thoughts?

I'm also contemplating setting up a contest for users to win Gaia gold by breaking the various BBCode parsing engines we use. Interested?

Utterly nothing to do with the topic at hand, but by any chance, have you had any luck with the wonky javascript business with zOMG, for those of us stuck using the flash-only link? I live in constant fear that it will break. >.<

Please, do a rewrite! And if not, please tell me that the problem with PM quotes is going to be fixed soon. gonk

I don't usually whine, but it's getting really old having to search though the quote codes for my friends' messages. I use the PM system constantly, so the broken quote codes are fueling my obsessive compulsive-ness. whee

A list of Gaia's BBC codes would be nice to have. heart

A Contest you say?

I believe that most bbcode (or rather, pseudocode) breaks easier in the forums, where it is using a more recent version.
This should break in the forums (github'd for ease of read).
But surprisingly, journals doesn't break with it.
