TOPIC | [FIXED] Dragon Bio item/skin BBCode bug
[b]edit:[/b] I missed the ping (OTL) and I don't want to bump this since it's been fixed for almost a week now... If you see this, thanks a ton Mutron!! Before this update I had no problems in dragon bios with using item and skin tags between font & color tags, but with the new profile update using an item code prematurely closes the resulting span tags for both font and color. This means code like the following no longer works the way it did before: [code][font=cambria][color=pink] Text is in the cambria font and it's pink. [item=Haunting Houndskull] This text is back to the default font and is black. [/color][/font][/code] Above BBCode converted to HTML: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/jSqYbyDz/bbcodebug1.png[/img] Result of above on page: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/wjW8T3Nn/bbcodebug2.png[/img] Temporary workarounds include getting the URL of the item's image/the skin's thumbnail and using img tags instead of item/skin tags (a bit of a pain to keep track of which is which due to the non-descriptive file names), or by repeating the font and/or color tags after using item or skin tags, like so: [code][font=cambria][color=pink] Text is in the cambria font and it's pink. [/color][/font] [item=Haunting Houndskull] [font=cambria][color=pink] Text is also in the cambria font and is pink because I repeated the tags after the item code. [/color][/font][/code] This isn't the worst bug out there, but I figured I'd report it anyways since I'm sure some other people's bios also need to be fixed because of this. Thanks for reading!

Before this update I had no problems in dragon bios with using item and skin tags between font & color tags, but with the new profile update using an item code prematurely closes the resulting span tags for both font and color.

This means code like the following no longer works the way it did before:
Code:
[font=cambria][color=pink] Text is in the cambria font and it's pink. [item=Haunting Houndskull] This text is back to the default font and is black. [/color][/font]

Above BBCode converted to HTML:

Result of above on page:
bbcodebug2.png

Temporary workarounds include getting the URL of the item's image/the skin's thumbnail and using img tags instead of item/skin tags (a bit of a pain to keep track of which is which due to the non-descriptive file names), or by repeating the font and/or color tags after using item or skin tags, like so:
Code:
[font=cambria][color=pink] Text is in the cambria font and it's pink. [/color][/font] [item=Haunting Houndskull] [font=cambria][color=pink] Text is also in the cambria font and is pink because I repeated the tags after the item code. [/color][/font]

This isn't the worst bug out there, but I figured I'd report it anyways since I'm sure some other people's bios also need to be fixed because of this. Thanks for reading!
Running into this issue as well, can confirm it affects the aforementioned code as well as bold/italics/underline and size tags. Columns and alignment tags such as center are unaffected.
