Am I missing something here w/the bbcode?

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

Tried to post something that was bold, italicized, and underlined with all tags closed (I checked twice) and got this error message:

There was an error parsing the BBcode in your post:
Unable to match all tags

You may correct these errors or ignore them by checking the ignore box below.

Then I selected "ignore errors", and got this:

HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message Access to the requested resource has been denied

description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/5.5.20

Tried to remove all tags, and was locked into the above message and unable to post. Just thought someone should know.

You're doing it right, but there does look like a bug. Keith was working on the parsing code today, I think, and the version he's running on the sandbox seems to handle it fine, so it should be fixed in the next upgrade.

Thanks. I was wondering what the hell was going on, and doubting myself in the process.

(Of course, one might wonder why I would want to do all those things at once, for which I have only the answer of Hastings thread shenanigans.)

Could you throw that up on http://rafb.net/paste/ ? The error-checking code is mine, so if it's incorrectly catching something, I should fix it.

I've sent you mail, libcrypt

No, I haven't touched the parsing code...
