Avoid Using [...] in PB Posts
20 minutes ago QuoteEditlikePost OptionsPost by yogibearbull on 20 minutes ago
I have posted about several problems on PB Support. Here I would like to post about a problem and its solution. I lightly searched the PB Support and I didn't find it addressed. Move the post if it fits better elsewhere.
I was encountering some strange things related to my stylized/formatted postings - missing text, unintentional italics, colors, etc. Some other posters have reported mysterious attachments (blank) that they didn't put in. This was very frustrating. Then I found the problem and its solution.
PB uses BB Code for post text, a simplified version of HTML. BB Code commands start as [xyz...] and often the first character of the string "xyz" triggers the corresponding command. And there is a huge list of "x" that can trigger BB Code commands (see link that follows).
See BB Code Commands www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode
So, here is what I started doing and I suggest that others do the same. Not use square brackets [...] at all when posting at PB. In common writing, it is usual to add editorial comments within [...], but now I force myself to use (...) instead. It solved several of my PB post issues.
