Bug when quoting members with "[" or "]" in their nicknames

[Sarteck]

I don't think it's too unreasonable to consider utilizing a method where square brackets would be acceptable in a BB Code's option, myself.

For example, enclosing the option in quotes or double-quotes to represent literal brackets rather than to-be-parsed brackets.

This actually works, btw, already, when quote does not have a second parameter delimited by a semi-colon.

The problem only exists when the second parameter exists. E.G.



[QUOTE="[Paul M]";2353120]The fix is not to allow [ or ] in usernames.[/QUOTE][/noparse][/B]

yields
[QUOTE="[Paul M]";2353120]The fix is not to allow [ or ] in usernames.[/QUOTE]






[/QUOTE][/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Anyways, to sum it up.... I disagree with the statement that the "fix" is to not allow brackets in usernames. I think the "fix" would be to fix the problem. ;)

Ah. Seems that if the [B]entire option[/B] is enclosed with quotes, everything goes smoothly.

E.G.:
[B][noparse][QUOTE="[Sarteck];2353596"]My Rambling[/QUOTE]

Aaaaaand, problem solved on vB4 if you change the newpost_quote template.

[QUOTE={vb:raw originalposter}]{vb:raw pagetext}[/QUOTE]

to

[QUOTE="{vb:raw originalposter}"]{vb:raw pagetext}[/QUOTE]

I don't know if vB3 (for vB.org) would have the same solution or not.
