Hey ThereI just came across I think forum bug.
I just wrote replay in other topic and when I hit preview of the post It did 2 things, showed the preview blow and replaced letter O in quite few places like this: Screenshot by Lightshot . Seems like it replace O when it is first letter in the word in the middle of the sentence. Tho it is not much annoying as when I hit post replay it post as it should be. What is strange it does not happen everythime, rather random occurance.

As an additional level of XSS protection, Comcode contexts have "on" replaced like that just in case there was a bug down-stream that allowed a JavaScript event handler to slip through. The HTML entity makes it almost impossible that JavaScript could be parsed from it.
It's done based on privileges.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
