Dunno if something got fixed really quickly, but I don't see anything unusual when I quote the OP.

edit: nm, see below.

Seems to only happen if you mark something that has a BB code tag.

So doing something like [ b this sure is good] will bold this (test: [b this sure is good] will bold this)

Oh, just tried requoting the OP; I see what you mean. I was looking for a spew of text, but I see the I tag now.

Seems to treat brackets as BBCode regardless. I guess that's okay, just gotta be careful if I use them in text and cause hilarious results with it.

All right, that's pretty hilarious.

Well there are actually in-built ways to hide text.
