Hi

If a post has a HTML style tag, even if it's not valid HTML it gives a standard ganked message.

For example:

<.test.>

Take out the dots and try and post a message with that in the body.

This explains why a lot of people can't post errors they are getting from web applications in the tech lab forum, as they include HTML in the message.

Ideally, a more sensible message should be presented if any HTML style tags are not allowed. Although proper character escaping would be better Blink
