Just to show, I´ll show you what happened when I was replying to another post, pasting the message here (the message itself is not important in this thread):
What do you think about CruceDeCaminos.com

It gets cut off after a [ url= ] markup that doesnt close. (Not markup problem, I did it right, its the conversion).
The rest of the message after it does not display. There should even be an image like this one in it []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/].

Can you post your entire message so I can do some tests? Just put a space around the markup tags like [ url= or [ crazy ]. That way I can see exactly what was typed and do some tests.

Its one I did elsewhere and had to go into the perl version to post it:
What do you think about [ url=http://www.wwwthreads.com/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=feedback&Number=25704&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5 ]this suggestion[ /url ]? It has to do with your problem... [ guiñar ]

Hmm, so far no problems. I even tried changing my language to spanish and adding a sig with a link in it so it would be like yours. What browser and version are you using so I can try testing with that?

IE 5.0
It doesnt seem to me like a language thing because it happens with the [ url ] markup code, or at least, it seems to start there.

More simple urls without "?", "&" "=" dont work either. Not even to a domain such as http://www.wwwthreads.com.

See what happens (it will actually only close once it gets to the end of my signature -mouse over it): CruceDeCaminos.com

Now posting from the perl version:
Could it be the following in main.inc.php?:

       $Body = preg_replace("/\[url=(.*)\]([^\[]*)\[[:red]\/url\]/","<a href="http://\\1" target="_new">\\2</a>",$Body);

That didn't do too much better. I'm using IE5 as well and can't quite track this down. I've tried all sorts of url combinations and they all come through fine. Still working on it though.

Ok, just made a few changes. Can you give it a try now?

Giving it a try: WWWThreads.
Does it work?
It does! []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/].

Well, looks like we are back again to the same problem. []/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/]
It works fine in the preview, but once it is posted it is corrupt.
See here:

This is now inside the pre tags

Outside pre tags. Now it will ruin my signature even though the tag is closed.

Still have the same problems... everytime I post a message using the [ pre ] tags I get my signature ruined.

This   line        is                 pre

This one is not.

It seems fixed in the preview screen, but not once it is posted.

Still having some problems with the markup section. Every time I think I have it fixed something else messes up. I'll get it right eventually[]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/].
