Title: Backslash gets deleted
Post by: kram1032 on January 15, 2017, 08:06:20 PM
For some reason backslashes get deleted whenever you preview, edit or save a comment. If you write "\", then hit preview, you can see the "\" is gone in the preview. You gotta go with double-backslash "\\" in which case only the first is deleted. Same for if you post a message and then delete it.
It really messes with \LaTeX too, and double-backlashes have to be written four times \\\\. (<- this one I wrote eight times)

It may be related to the changes in php which disallow the ' character in subject lines.

This is also possibly related to other reasons why we need to upgrade the forum.

More info, hopefully, when Christian sees this   O0
