The ;&nbsp tag is replaced with spaces in messages, even from inside [code][/code] tags in posted messages.

An example is:


Response.Write ">      " & rsForum("F_SUBJECT")& "</option>" & vbNewline


should appear as:

Response.Write ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" & rsForum("F_SUBJECT")& "</option>" & vbNewline



Both of the above lines were posted inside [code] tags, but the second I had to do a lot of formating to make the &nbsp tag to show up in the forum (hit reply with quote to see how I had to do it).

This is no bug but by design.
Even inside [code][/code] tags things like FORUM-code and/or &-characters get converted.
Changing that would be possible but would make the conversion process very much more complicated.

I understand that it can make things more complicated, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the [Code] [/Code] tag. I mistakenly posted that some of my code was different in another post because of this. When users view the bug fixes, some may misinterpret the fixes if some of the code within the [Code] [/Code] tags gets converted to something else. I had thought that the whole purpose of the [Code] [/Code] tags was to allow us to post code without worry of the forum changing it.

Just done some checking on my forum (Ver3sr2) and this was not a problem on that release. You can check my test post at http://www.rcwebboard.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1909&FORUM_ID=1&CAT_ID=1&Topic_Title=ignore&Forum_Title=Testing Forum (I'll delete it sometime saturday) and as you'll see, the tags show up when used inside code tags. So, somewhere along the line, this functionality must have gotten removed from the code.

No, it has never been that way. We always had to worry about that.
