Maybe Opera still executes the script locally instead of from the site?? (Im telling you 'HTML' is disabled on this site!!)

Now is that formatted correctly for you?? (It shouldnt be if it is)
The Dude, HTML is
not disabled on this site. How do you think this site is displayed, then. Flash? LOL.
What happens is the BBCode parser automatically turns '<' and '>' into their HTML character equivalents,
< and
> while turning [url][/url] into actual HTML code. I suspect a slightly different parser is used for the thread preview window, because it's only plaintext. When that parser was written, the '<' and '>' parsing was probably omitted, creating the bug that Matt so nicely pointed out.
But back on topic, the bug seems to be fixed, thank you Dani!
