O.P. Quote Bug
Look at this :

code:

[quote=[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_IP#IP_address_allocation]Wikipedia[/url]
TEXT TEXT TEXT
[/quote]


Produces :

quote:
Originally posted by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_IP#IP_address_allocatio[b
n][/b]Wikipedia[/url]
TEXT TEXT TEXT


For some reason, it doesn't display the [url=] closing bracket, hence, the problem.

RE: Quote Bug
Don't know if you can call this a bug really :

When using [quote] the name is automaticly enclosed in [noparse] tags, so if someone quotes someone who has "]" in his/her username, the quote parser, won't get confused and think that the quote ends there.


That's why the url tag wont work there, because it's not parsed.


Edit: By looking again into it, it seems that the name is not enclosed in noparse tags :P

RE: Quote Bug
That is a bug !! because some people may have [ or ] in their username which will cause some troubles.

If you have read the url i have posted, it currently under discussion on mybb community, and the team is trying to find a fix for that.

Many ideas were presented, however i'm not sure what fix will be chosen.

The problem as you havementioned is in the ], that's so abvious, but now what's important is to find an escape falling in this trap. Umm if you look at the code you see how things go in the quoting process.

code:
"#\[ quote=(?:"|\"|')?(.*?)[\"']?(?:"|\"|')?\](.*?)\[\/quote\ ]#si"

One of the best ways is to add quotation to the user name

[ quote='zaher1988' ]


Many Regards

I've noticed this before when quoting [MR]. I reported it (ages ago now), but nothing was ever done. TBH, it's easy to fix: add support for stacking [ and ].

That does not work unless the code is modified. Believe me I have tried. No matter what, the ] in the name ends the tag.

That doesn't seem to work either. Like .Lou said, the code just searches for the next ] and there ends the name. The only work-around I see is by using:
code:
[quote][i]Originally posted by [MR][/i]
Text [MR] said...[/quote]
since that's what it generates: pure BBCode. You can just emulate it and everything works just fine. :)
I know it's not easy when you want to reply fast, but it's the only way I see to fix this

Because I haven't added support for it yet, but I plan to. :p

Then [quote="[MR]"] should work fine.

Will the QQ default to adding the quote marks?
