Title: The &&&&& Bug is back.
Post by MVT on 05/23/13 at 13:18:29

There are some times that I actually choose to use the & symbol to start sentences because it looks better grammatically than starting a sentence with "And". I like this symbol a lot. However this bug is bothersome. I recall it happened frequently maybe 2 years ago and I haven't noticed it in a long while until recently again...I guess the issue is still not resolved or it came back somehow.

I've noticed on the occasional post random &&& symbols are thrown in after the post is made. Usually at the end of sentences it seems or after line breaks. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it's bothersome.

If you need an example reply #14 in the Oklahoma Tornado thread is a perfect example of a really bad case of it happening.

I did a couple of tests here and my posts are fine. I suspect there is something you're doing in your post (e.g. posting videos or links) that is causing the software to treat the post in a special manner. Does it happen to you if you make a plain-text post?

Emergency bump! it looks more like the &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& bug now when I'm creating a post.

I don't get what &&&&&& are on &&&&&. Nothing to see &&&&

If there's no way to fix this bug, then lock the thread please.

This bug does absolutely nothing, so why does it matter?
