Thread subjects are showing escaped HTML

[Simonsaysitschristmas]

Sorry if this has already been reported but I’ve noticed loads of threads recently where the subject is showing the escaped HTML rather than the intended characters.

Is there a fix scheduled for this? It’s making some subjects really difficult to read.

Hi @Simonsaysitschristmas, is this on search results screens or the topic list? Also could you let us know whether you are using the website on a desktop/laptop or a phone or the iphone/android app? If on the website, if you could paste the URL of a page where you see this, that would be very helpful. Thanks.

Hi @tech

I see it on the topic lists, but when I click into a thread it’s fine. For example I see it on www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff

I’m using the website on an iPhone XR (Safari browser)

Thanks. That's very helpful. I can see the issue. We should be able to fix it in our next update - most likely early next week. Thanks for your help.

This should be fixed now @Simonsaysitschristmas. Thanks for the report.

@Tech This happened to a new thread that I started. It contained quote marks and the second quote mark was escaped HTML.

I reported the post to Mumsnet asking if the title could be tidied up, which seems to be in hand:

"Thread deleted

Message from MNHQ: We're taking this down whilst we fix the format problems. A new thread should be along in a mo"

@Tech My thread, mentioned in previous post, has still not re-appeared:

Hi @MoleSmokes I'll pass this on to try find out what's happened.

Thanks. If it has got lost, please let me know and I will re-post it.

@Tech - it's OK about the thread I posted.

I have reposted it with more info and have avoided using quotation marks in the Thread Title this time
