How come when I use \ in a comment it vanishes when shown, but yet still shows up when I go to edit?

NiftyToo (OekakiPoteto's version of BBcode) does not preserve backslashes when converting HTML entities. Text will not contain backslashes when used as comments, picture titles, profile names, and a few other uses.

Heh... I hope when you make your own, you use bb code instead.

Are there any other characters that it can't use, or a file telling about it, and what it can and can't use?

Other than adding smilies, I've not bothered making changes to NiftyToo because it needs to be fully replaced with BBcode. I don't think there's any other characters that get stripped out, but there are a whole bunch of entities that don't get converted, so NiftyToo does not produce HTML Strict compliant pages.

New features have been a low priority for a while until I got the config system cleaned up. Adding BBcode wouldn't be much of an issue, now, though it would have to be simple BBcode support (no "img" tags, for example).

Yeah. Just support for bold, itallic and underline, and smilies, and allowing any text character to be entered would be fine. Oh, and url parsing, and/or at least url tags, too. Other than that, comments on the oekaki shouldn't need to be more complex than that.

Good luck!
