No more "greater than / less than" symbols allowed?

I have made a couple of edits this morning, coffee has not kicked in yet, trying to use the "greater than / less than" symbols to create a break in the sentences only to receive an error message (ERROR: One of the values in the url has not passed validation.

Error Code: 113). I took out the code and the breaks were there...SURPRISE!



To make this coin related; I sent in a few for variety attribution and a few for crossover like this 1847 1C N1, I love the repunched date on ALL four digits!;

    That's a great variety, I may have to try and cherrypick one now. Any info on rarity?



    I'm trying this response without line breaks as well, I think the gt/lt symbols are still being interpreted as HTML markup.

    Rarity? From my understanding it is fairly common variety.

    Nice coin. I am not sure what all the discussion is about with line breaks.



    I just hit the enter key twice on my keyboard and that seems to do it for me.



    Am I misunderstanding something?

    Nice coin.



    I had the line break problem for a short time after the software change, and then suddenly I didn't. It sounds like maybe you've crossed that mysterious threshold.



    And yes, that means those symbols probably won't work for you anymore, since the boards will think they are HTML.



    It also means that if you are using the Quote feature and quoting someone who is still having the line break problem and has those symbols in their post, you'll have to edit the symbols out in order to be able to quote them. This has happened to me a couple of times.



    I must say I'm now blissfully free of most of the major issues with the boards that plagued me before and after the change. And mostly satisfied. I'm not crazy about the new PM format, but I'll live with it. And there are a number of new features that I do like. So all in all, my opinion of the new boards is faintly positive but tinged with a little sadness that all my old images hosted on CU are now dead, and all my old poll threads no longer have poll information attached to them.



    But we move on. I hope that everyone else's glitches get taken care of, because I know all too well how frustrating they can be.

    .

    under the wysiwyg, symbols work no probs.



    under coding standards, partials symbols are seen as errors, as technically they are. having said that, there are a few partial symbols i like to use under wysiwyg but i must concede.



    this shouldnt kick off an error warning but just mess up the post a bit, like normal coding standards.



    if it were important that errors in coding be notified of immediately, the warning would be a godsend but this is not the case here. (as much anyway)
