can't enter certain symbols in posts - $#%, etc. - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

for future reference to the laymen, browser has nothing to do with it. it's the bulletin board software escaping certain entities (symbols) and replacing them with their html counter part. It's a security measure to keep people from adding in scripts and **** to the database which could end up getting ran. it should display the symbol though... however... it is escaping the ampersand it is outputting as well...

so 100% is actually 100&#37;
