Did something change with DText or am I retarded?

I could have sworn I used to be able to to use custom link syntax in post descriptions, but it seems to be not functioning for me at the moment, as seen in this post:

post #859916

Also the italics are being ornery atm too.

How 2 DText pls? :(

I can't actually say officially, but quotes seem to be playing up (this one probably is in fact!).
I think dtext might be a bit glitchy at the moment and I'm not sure why.

Oh, and sorry, but shouldn't this go in the bug report thread? https://e621.net/forum/show/28544

Also, just a reminder. Just below the text/comment input you should see formatting help and commenting help, those links should be helpful

Yeah, I could see it being an issue if quotes are causing it.

I didn't put it in the bug thread because I wasn't sure if it was a bug or if I'm somehow doing something wrong!

And yeah, I know about the help pages; that's where I learned the syntax for different dtext stuff in the first place :) As far as I can tell though, I'm using the syntax properly, so dunno what's wrong. Thanks for replying though!

Seems like e621 is having some issues with some characters, that may be why the DText isn't working properly.
I was lurking on the users records to look at some funny ban reasons and I noticed this comment https://e621.net/comment/show/2463123
On my side at least, I am seeing &lt;3 instead of <3. The comment appears fine if you look at the submission however

EDIT : That bug happens on the forums apparently, seeing &amp;lt;3 instead of &lt;3 + smallerthan + 3 AND smallerlessthan + 3

Well the quotes seem to have fixed now (at least for me)!

Yeah, some of those ban reasons can be pretty funny. My old account actually got banned for being underage, I'm 18 now though (born 15th August 1997).

Spanning multiple lines has never worked. You need to do one set of tags for each line.

Huh. No idea how I went this long without running into that issue and coming to that realization by now, lol.
