@tom-b-2 Testing...
We're getting somewhere. Well, by 'we' I mean Andy in Tech.
It's seemingly not a problem with usernames or spaces or hyphens or anything like that. It's a problem, specifically and possibly uniquely, with Tom's account. Current thinking is that there may have been a previous (deleted?) tom-b before the current incarnation and it's bolleauxed it. They're picking this back up tomorrow.
There's me....then there's also a TomB
Not sure if that is what is causing the issue?!
I'm not overly (at all) fussed about whether or not people can '@' me. Understand that you folks may want to iron out tech issues though.
There's a logic to that. I've passed on the information, thank you.
Are they aware that attempts to escape html tags fail to stay escaped?
If I type ampersand lt;strong ampersand rt; it unescapes it.
I know pretty niche use case 😀
I've seen it the other way around. Not sure as it's causing a problem though?
(Your rt should be a gt, hth.)
Test 1: `<strong><code>
Test 2: <code><strong>`
Oooh that's weird! All sorts of rearrangement!
Double wierd!
test 1:
test 2: <strong>
I wouldn't expect mixed tags to work, and as far as I can tell a post containing < or &-lt; markup pairs is functionally identical.
Can you elaborate on the second pair? That looks like the same markup to me.
The 2nd pair is what I typed the first time round, but upon editing, the backticks and code tags had been mixed up and rearranged over the two lines.

test 4:test
Correct me if I'm missing something but I'm not sure as that's a particularly pressing problem. I mean, we're deliberately posting bogus HTML / BBcode nesting in order to throw the renderer into a knot, at best it's an edge case. So long at it's not exposing us to a potential Little Bobby Tables issue I think we're OK.
@tom-b should now be fixed (and looks like it is from the posts above). Andy believes he's got to the bottom of this particular bit of weirdness.
I’m TomB. It’s not my fault!
No I'm Tom B/Tom-B/tom-b
TomB or not Tom-B that is the question?
