Anyone else's < creepy wee brackets > making text disappear?

[SpinningMeSoftly]

Since the platform change, I've noticed that if I write text inside < creepy wee brackets > like this but without the spaces, the text and the brackets are invisible in the post; thus depriving the world of my witty asides.

No that didn't work either.

Have you thought about giving up the day job !! < tries invisible cloak of darkness >

So I have established that if you type 1 bracket (<) no space and the other bracket (>) with a space all contents of the bracket disappear.

<test>

On the plus side it means you can type invisible insults to trolls. It's very entertaining I think I want to keep this glitch.

Sorry to spoil the fun here but we've fixed this now so that the brackets don't hide the text <fixed>

Oh no! This means the troll will now see I called their husband <imaginary> because I thought they couldn't read it. Oops <awaits punishment from MN>
