Smiles with square brackets are not displayed in posts

Post by dimassamid »

Hello!

After updating to the 3.3.0, the smiles with square brackets [ ] stopped working. A have a lot of such smiles like

Code: Select all

[:smile:]
[:sad:]
[:shock:]
etc...

As an experiment, I installed a clean forum and checked there - the same result. What happened with smiles parsing?

Thank you in advance!

See viewtopic.php?p=15394351#p15394351

Whether or not this is the correct fix I can’t say but it proves you’re not on your own ;)

If you don't want to wait for 3.3.1 you can replace the faulty file locally:

I wrote the library that handles markup in phpBB 3.2+.
