Okay, so I found the problem, don't know what to do to fix it :)

Basically, I uploaded it to tinypic.com, and tried attaching it with the image button above.

It's supposed to do this:
Code: [Select]
[img][url]http://i39.tinypic.com/2pyywxl.png[/url][/img]

Instead it does this:
Code: [Select]
[img]http://[url]http://i39.tinypic.com/2pyywxl.png[/url][/img]

So I deleted the extraneous http://, but it comes back anyway. Even after I highlight, delete, and then click post, it adds it back in.

Oopsie! Didn't notice, I was reading your name Aran-Ator. Not Aran-tor. There should be close to no more misspellings haha

What exactly caused it?
As far as we know at the present time, a bug in the preparser.

Do you know?
Not for certain.

And if so, why was it introduced in Wedge, and wasn't there in SMF?
Certainly it's something we've done, and I'm suspecting that code related to the media embedder is responsible, but I don't know until I actually sit down and go through it with a fine tooth comb. Given my current personal situation, this isn't going to happen just yet.

Ah, I see. I wish I knew PHP/MySQL, but alas I do not. I only know HTML/CSS, and Python.

Anyways, if you attach a picture, will it automatically show it in the post as an image, or does something else need to be done? If so, that's an easy way around it. :)

Bugs are always the most annoying things, I have one in my program I'm trying to iron out, but it's escaping me. I'm sure I'll get it working eventually.

Anyways, good luck and I hope it gets ironed out sometime soon! Hope everything in your personal life gets better soon!

It will be attached at the end of the post but otherwise show as a picture.

There are rather a lot of bugs currently, not only the ones we've introduced with the massive number of changes we've run, but also that we inherited from SMF that have not yet been fixed in our codebase.

But as ever we'll figure it out :)

Sweet, I guess I will just start attaching photos than uploading them to a site haa :)

As for that, I would definitely understand that. Taking on such a massive fork would be crazy. It would be like expecting that forking the Linux Kernel and changing the code to improve it would introduce exactly 0 bugs.

I wish you all the luck in the world! :)

We inherited 110k lines of code, the current codebase weighs in at around 175k lines of code (excluding comments and blank lines) and there's been an awful lot of changes under the hood. It doesn't really resemble SMF in some places any more...

Wow, that is a lot longer than any of my programs have come near. My most feature-complete program (with only 3 features missing, namely, printing, print preview, and page setup) is only ~400 lines of code. That's counting comments haha

If you ever end up releasing this under an open-source license, I will love to see the code, it sounds like it'd be an amazing learning experience.

You're welcome :)

Even if it's not open source, it'll be available for download, and PHP scripts generally aren't compiled ;) The nearest you normally get with PHP is stuff run through Zend Guard or ionCube Encoder, which raise their own sets of problems, so we won't be doing that.

Oh yeah, didn't really think about that :) i will definitely spend some time studying it. I've wanted to learn PHP for a long time, this may make it easier to do :) Not sure about that, but it will definitely make it very interesting.
