I did a search on "ubb signature", "signature ubb", "broken signature", and "signature broken" and haven't found anything.

What causes this? If you're not familiar with it, here's a current example from my website:

Code
<br />[Name color:"orange"]Guardsmen Cadets '86, '87[/Name color] -> Snare, Quadz<br />[Name color:"blue"]Lake Park H.S. '88-'92[/Name color] -> Snare<br />[Name color:"blue"]University of Kentucky '93, '95, '96[/Name color] -> Snare, Quadz, Snare<br />[Name color:"green"]Cavaliers '93-'96[/Name color] -> Snare<br />


Name gets inserted into strategic points.

I've never seen this. Does it display that way - or happen when they edit their profile/sig?

Josh,

It happens when I edit a users profile, such as changing their member status rating using the hack you setup for me.

It has happened to me here before with my current signature. It displays that way.

It has been happening across multiple versions too. This was a problem even before 6.3.

Looks like a bug in /admin/showoneuser.php that breaks the markup code in the signatures.

I couldn't figure out the fix myself. I reported it at our development board. Maybe Rick will post a fix.

Very strange. I can't see what may be causing this from a quick glance at the related scripts... sorry.

No it's odd..... it simply uses the undo_markup function. So in that theory.... it should be broken anytime you edit. LOL But it doesn't break in the posts. Only from that admin script.

Well, if I come across it again, I'll note if I was editing the user, and I'll ask the user what they had been doing recently. And I'll take a lovely screenshot too!

So this is related to the way HTML in a post gets broken when you attempt to edit it?

yes -

I remember it puzzled me - I broke yours when I edited your profile the other day to change your bean.

It's a bug in the undo_markup function. But for some reason - it does OK when you edit the post.

But if you edit a user who has color in their signature.... it'll break. I just did a bunch of testing on a clean beta site. Yet it doesn't break in a post.

I just broke you by editing your profile.

OK - rick gave me the fix. I just edited your signature and didn't break the colors.


Here's the fix:
Code
<br />Open /languages/englsih/admin/showoneuser.php<br /><br />Find:<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['COLOR'] = "Name color";<br /><br /><br />Change to this:<br /><br />$ubbt_lang['NAME_COLOR'] = "Name color";<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Open /admin/showoneuser.php<br /><br />Find this:<br /><br /><br />     {$ubbt_lang['COLOR']}<br><br /><br /><br /><br />Change to this:<br /><br />     {$ubbt_lang['NAME_COLOR']}<br><br /><br /><br />
