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

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.

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?

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





you can put percent signs in quick replies, sometimes

Fix this.

I did no such thing

I bumped, you deleted it.

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 :oo:

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

via http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274487
(please don't shoot me)

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

For ****s sake will you people fix this already? I had a nice quality post and it disappeared due to some silly percentage signs.

:cry:

:rolleyes:

Yeah man, can you believe it?

My rolly eyes should indicate my pantomime position, but who am I joking? Everyone loves you. :blush:

I'm pretty sure when that happened to me that I simply pushed the back button and my post was still there. I use Firefox.

Opera here, same.

Ya this is dumb :(
Fix it please/

I did push back and I'm also on Firefox. I think it's because I was using quick reply or something, I don't know. Just annoying when it happens because I completely forget about the whole "PERCNTANG SIGN IS TEH ANTICHRIST!!" thing.

bump

Some of our codetards should make a greasemonkey script and post it.

• Check the URL to make sure it's Graal Forums (or a forum running this version of VBulletin).
• Find input boxes and convert any percents signs to display correctly.
• Insert white text mocking Darlene.

Installed and now using it. 100% thanks to Googi.

Can't access that link for whatever reason.. but I wish this could get fixed already without screwing around with scripts.

Only problem with the greasemonkey script is that once it replaces the percent sign in the post, I can no longer edit the post because it'll give a bad request.

on IE it works aswell :D

This thread is awesome. 100%

lol

this has happened to me too. I type up some big post and then I lose it because I forgot to filter the percent sign.

Are you kidding me

Is this still not considered a bug

It's there for "security reasons" to prevent "code injection".

http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...82#post1536882

It is a protection against code injection. vBulletin is relatively secure but has such problems from time to time. The percentage sign thing can be annoying but better this than having the forums being down for weeks.

Btw this has been fixed :D thanks to unixmad

Good Job Unix !

But nearly 2 years late :P
