Hi, complete newb here; I was conscripted into playing FETO by my friends (you know who you are) and have been having a lot of fun, but I have a minor issue:

After I changed a character's sprite/info once, when I went back to the "Character Sprites and Information Management" page, his name had disappeared and was replaced by a blank line:


Between "Alex" and "Darps" there should be another name ("<isaac>").

(If there's a general thread for FETO bugs/questions/etc., I didn't see one; I hope this is in the right place)

Does the name "isaac" also encase the < and > symbols? If so, that may very well be why that was happening.

Yeah, it does, 'cause it's a placeholder for a name that I was planning to change later / not use at all, for ~reasons~.
I was able to modify it the first time, though, so idk what's up with that.

Okay I just checked; you were right. I should be able to fix it now by copying/pasting the link.


Thanks for the help.

EDIT: yup, works fine with [ ]

Holy shit. This is a huge security flaw. Please force it to convert to HTML safe chars such as &lt; & &gt; when rendering.

Not really much we can do about that right now. I can manually go in and fix it in the database if it happens again.
