I've seen this twice now where the last item in a bullit list is showing the literal bracket "[" and asterisk. Is there text that is prohibited in a list? For example, if I make a list of six items and my only text in that list is 1 2 3 4 5 and 6, it displays properly, however, if I then paste that actual text I want into my list, the last item loses it's bullit graphic and shows the actual tag that should be converted to the list. In some cases I also see the close list item tag and the close list tag.
Any ideas what is causing this? Anyone else seen this? |

Got links to any examples or can you post the exact forum code (edit the post in question) here? At first guess, I'd say you're somehow overwriting a [ or a ] when pasting your text in.

Shaggy,
I just created a bullit list of about 12 items today and it worked fine. I'm going to comb through the offending post and see if I can't find the issue. If I can't I'll paste the relevant code here. I'd prefer not to tie up other's time if it isn't necessary. Thought this might be a known issue. Looks like it is probably just sloppy work on my part.
Thanks!

Okay, this is just nutz! 
Here is the code, where < = [
<list>
<*>1</*>
<*>2</*>
<*>3</*>
<*>4</*>
<*>5</*>
<*>6</*>
</list>
<list>
<*>7</*>
<*>8</*>
<*>9</*>
<*>10</*>
<*>11</*>
<*>12</*>
</list>
And here is what it produces:

Oddness, it's not happening here. Have you made any changes to inc_func_common.asp or inc_func_posting.asp? If so, can you post up *.txt copies of those 2 files. Although, can't think of anything that'd only effect the parsing of the last list item and not the others.

also, if you post a link to a test topic on your forum, it may help others to experience it first-hand and see if they can help work it out!
Have a good w/e, all :) |

Wow... I found it. Took a lot of digging, but three lists above this one ( about 150 lines above ) there was an item in another list that did not have a "close list item" tag.
Thanks everyone for the help.
