As you can see, it doesn't work.

I have found a potential flaw in my boss, Duncan's code and have made him aware of it. 

He will be looking into it

At the moment, the process to convert from the [ ] (bbcode style) tags to HTML is regex based, so we are really just looking for text between a starting and ending quote ... to handle nested tags, we'd have to move to parsing the text which isn't the simplest process. I have it on my plate though so we'll see if I end up getting it done

tbh that's fair enough mostly, Posts could get very long otherwise. It just comes in handy occasionally, although we can live without it
