So, I was trying to change my profile intro text and I ran across a problem.

This may not be an actual technical issue, it may have been intentionally put into the coding (not sure why but..)

When I was trying to edit my profile intro text, I wanted to change the colour of the text to match the theme as per normal. When changing the colour of text you need to add the code
Code:
[PLAIN][COLOR="#00FFFF"]Colour Test[/COLOR][/PLAIN]
And you'd get: Colour Test as per usual.
But when I tried to do this on my profile, instead of getting the above, the quotation marks (") would be replaced with (") meaning my code to get the colour of my text changed wouldn't go through because the quotation marks changed to something the code doesn't recognize. I hope that made sense.

If anyone has any knowledge on this potential issue (which is small) please, don't hesitate to share.​

[EDIT] Colour thing doesn't matter. I fixed that, but the whole quotation marks being turned into " should be looked into if that wasn't the intentional design. Could bother some people.

Note that this is a minor problem and shouldn't be a first priority for the designers.

You need to remove the double quotes around the hex triplet:

[COLOR=#00FFFF][/COLOR]

I tried that and it does work, (Thank you for telling me that, I didn't know that the quotation marks in that didn't matter :3) although the whole thing where quotation marks appear as " is still a bit of a problem for anyone planning to use quotation marks in their intro text.

They can use single quote instead of double, and you're welcome. ^_^

Well.. They could >.> obviously this is an extremely minor bug, just thought I should bring it some attention.

It isn't a bug. &quot, is just a rephrase of quotation, whenever someone uses, "x" in the profile intro text. It could possibly be removed, but its been here for ages now, so I highly doubt it may be removed. xd Maybe if more complaints regarding the issue arises, it may be looked into and removed.
