It seems the forum has still a problem with parsing the % sign.
The % sign is exchanged for the following code : %

test : 3% .
test : a% .

Sometimes the parser exchanges the % sign for a %.

It does not happen when i use the quote command but without any spaces between the quote commands and the text : [xQUOTE] [x/QUOTE]
The x is for preventing the quote command being executed.

I also noticed that it happens while posting a new message more often.
And only sometimes while editing. After the third edit attempt, the % is accepted.

When i copy paste an entire text with an % sign in it, the % is maintained. Maybe a minimal amount of character space is needed ( including spaces) ?

I have figured it out, every time i press save after editing, 1 % character is exchanged at a time. Beginning from the first position left top corner.

Just place a few of these at the top of your text if you need to edit and you will be fine : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It is this or using the advanced editor, but sometimes the forum will not allow me to use the advanced editor because the go advanced button does nothing. The button is not even clickable.
