My posts look messed up sometimes

[Exiro]

The html tags just appear in my post as plain text.

I'm in Linux, using Iceweasel, but only because Firefox doesn't work well with comments either: it doesn't allow me to use formatting at all.

I think the easiest way to solve this is if I could just the full editor all the time. Is there any way to do that?

EDIT: alright, so I found out how to use the full editor (for some reason I have to double click the button), but it's still annoying if you don't know how to fix it. Am I the only one to whom this occurred?

I believe it is a strange bug that happens sometimes. It's happened to me about 2-3 times.

Basically, Full Editor should remove your problems.

But I really don't have a reason why it's happening. It just is, from what I deduce.

You should be using [url] tags, not [html]

Hey there Exiro, haven't seen ya in a while!

OT: I'm not very knowledgeable of IPB's cross-platform capabilities, but you'd think that wouldn't be a problem...

What exactly do you mean with HTML tags? The forum doesn't actually use HTML ( brackets rather than <>s) so I just wanna make this clear.

Yeah, I occasionally post in General or TCG, but you generally won't see me around much.

I got <div> tags. Lots of <div> tags cluttering up my whole post.

The problem only seems to appear when I use Ice Weasel, which is based on Chromium by the way. I also realized that I messed around with the useragents, so that may have something to do with it as well.

Edit: I don't have access to formatting even if I use the full editor in Firefox. Currently it's either no formatting at all, or hope that nothing goes wrong in Ice Weasel. I don't know just how often it goes wrong in Ice Weasel, though, but it's still annoying to have to switch between browsers.

<div>s? That was unexpected.

It does sound more like a browser-thing, then. I would occasionally get lots of tags if I pasted something into the editor and then toggled the editing mode, but even then it'd be bracket-tags rather than proper HTML. I'd suggest googling; doesn't seem to be a YCM-problem, thus I don't think most people here would be able to help.
