Can you please fix the thing where you cannot post percent signs

[Loriel]

Yes, I realise you can work around it by using html entities but parsing html entities in the first place is goddamn retarded and they should not at any point be exposed to the user and just fix your goddamn code

I realise this was discussed before and you decided to do nothing about it but it is still annoying as hell

bump this thread when you have to use a html entity to post a perfectly normal ascii character

Apparently not a big problem

It is a BIG problem. It happens nearly 95percent of the time I post a script, forcing me to do a work-around.

edit: Apparently this post was one of the 5percent, until I decided to edit it.

/bumpsign
Better? Or would you rather have a:
/signed

Either way, I agree. Fix it.

[Loriel]

Moonie, in any other thread about a specific problem, posts saying "I am experiencing this problem, too, and agree with the request in the original post" would be perfectly fine. Why are you pruning them from this thread?

[Elizabeth]

apparently i'm not allowed to post unless i'm being helpful.





you can put percent signs in quick replies, sometimes

[Crono]

Fix this.

You bumped it 30 minutes after he posted it. Give me a break....
It would be helpful if you post something other than just "bump"

He asked people who have the problem to bump. I could have posted something like "yea, I'm experiencing the same problem", but I was lazy.

Looks like you were too lazy to read and comprehend his post too.

That's kinda the same in the end, no? When I have to use a html entity instead of the percent sign, I'm having the problem

Just in case Stefan walks across this thread, I believe the fix is adding this to the .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

It's helpful, so I will let it slide this time.
