Messages beginning with // do not support dynamic text (!xxx) by niraj on 06-27-2005 at 12:28 PM

Client: MSN Messenger 7.0.0813
Plus! Version: 3.54.132

Bug Description: Messages that begin with an escaped forward slash (//) do not support dynamic text like (!WAT) and (!IP). So in short:

//me listening to (!WAT)
outputs:
/ me listening to (!WAT)

while:
/ me listening to (!WAT)
outputs:
.: n i r a j :. listening to DJ Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise 4 (CD 1)

Note: ignore the spaces between / and me, had to add those for the board to show it the way i want.

This is not a bug, it's by design. A double slash indicates that the following is text and that commands and tags shouldn't be parsed.

please read the official faq and help pages: http://www.msgplus.net/help.php

And especially: the "commands & tags" section:

quote:
command   parameter      explaination
/text           message          Send message without parsing for
//                                     commands or tags
;)

you can use the mybb-code [noparse] for this:
    [noparse]/me[/noparse] listening to blahblah
will output:
    /me listening to blahblah
and not
    * CookieRevised listening to blahblah
