Re: "
Heybrian - I noticed this too. The strange code you see is a special html code. I'm not really sure, but I think the folowing happens: Characters like < > " | etc will be automatically changed into a code by the ScratchR scripts. When you edit this (i guess you mean the "project notes") it is not changed back to the original character, so you see the code. When you click save, the strange characters from the code (like & in &) will be coded again.
In fact my text abovedoesn't makes a any sense - it's a bug, and bugs always are better fixed

Re: "
Well, i noticed that in the forums you can do it, (") so why cant we do it in projects or galleries?
The code should work. Maybe its like the "wait something secsC" with the C at the end. And you cant edit it like in the forums.

Re: "
The forum scripts are not written by the Scratch team. It is another "program" called PunBB
The code for commenting on projects galleries, project notes etc. IS written by the Scratch team (not?) - so is totally another script, which means: other bugs. A solution might be to use the open source code of PunBB in ScratchR...

Re: "
HTML code is escaped to prevent cross-site scripting attacks. One of the consequences of that is the problem you describe. We could fix the problem by creating special cases for some characters and that's something we should fix.

Re: "
You would have to make it so the code doesn't connect with other letters. For example, theres always periods (or if you don't do punctuation theres always a letter) right before the quotes. And to JSO, its probably made by scratch otherwise you would be able to make smiley's. (or did scratch just add those for a little fun?)
