On this forum, there is a user who obviously registered his \her name before the strict character rules were in effect.
Thus, the are brackets in the name, making quoting impossible using the included web macro button.

How should I edit the string to accurately quote The user?

I guess nesting html arguments are also not allowed...

looks like the bbcode is the problem? just remove the [

if you dont wanna manually delete it every time, you can write a greasemonkey script to do it for you.

Forsaken's name contains brackets. How, I know not why. Point is, it ducks up the phpBBb code and needs to be escaped. However, I was not able to find any sort of escape character, (perhaps non printable characters..)

I did find that the strings are escaped,
Only within ...

Code

tags.

And so, in order to 'quote' a user whose name contains a "[" or "]", one must nest the CODE tag within the QUOTE
