can't enter certain symbols in posts - $#%, etc.
 

I hate to start an entire thread for it, but I see no other area for minor problems. In one particular post I was trying to write '95 percent' and when I would hit submit, it would change the percentage symbol to look like this - 95% - . I also tried in other posts to enter other symbols, like # $ & @ and it did almost the same thing.

I have tried this from 3 separate computers here at work, and also my home computer last night. Maybe my account just has GonoSyphiHerpAIDS or something... I have no idea. Here's the most recent attempt (post #2):

Again, I hate to start a whole thread, this is kind of lame, but maybe it's a small problem that would lead to larger ones?

^ I saw that. I just figured it was your first time using a keyboard.

95% does it work for me...?

oh weird... are there other combos that show up strangely? please write out anything else you've found as well.

testing...

22%

5%

234%

34%

ab%

22#

noticed this the other day on two different computers as well

Could it be browser related?

i was thinking that, since i use Firefox and it has been finicky lately, but the other computers here at work only have Internet Explorer installed. I also tried opening IE here on my main computer and editing my post and it still does the " 95% "

Im getting the same thing. Vbulletin has the chylmidaghonocyphaherpilaids.

yeah, it does it on firefox, IE and google chrome.

And on safari too.

Iphone test: 95%

%

234%

Oh man if you try to google it it's a tarp! If you put in the string % it says no results found for (the symbol for percent).

so is their a fix for this yet?? It keeps changing my percentage into %

This is annoying 100% of the time. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!





by the way Safari is a negatory on working

So it's just displaying the HTML number instead of the actual symbol... hrm

can't enter certain symbols in posts - $#%, etc.
 

I see the % 'percent' sign fine on my iphone

So not to be pushy or anything, but is this gonna get fixed anytime soon??

A way around it is instead of posting using 'quick reply' instead click 'go advanced' and post from there... thats all the new info I have.

This issue has been brought up to vBulletin and they have not found a fix for it, so nope, unfortunately I can't tell you when this will be resolved.

I just wanted to update to let everyone know that we finally fixed this issue. Feels great to take care of one of the 'annoying little rattles' of the site :)

So now it'll work 100% of the time?
