texte = Bad bug?I have a form field called v_subject. After submitting the form, I ask: [showif [v_subject]=] Please type a subject. [/showif]When I put an exclamation mark in this field, [showif] reports an empty field. [formvariables] shows the correct string, including the ! sign. The position within the string does not matter, the presence of a ! is enough to cheat [showif]. It happens with [hideif] too, POST and GET makes no difference. (WebCat 3.02 Plug-in)Can anyone reproduce and confirm this behavior?
