letters disappearing from memories

Dave,
When I type up a memory and then submit it, it comes back missing letters. I have to do a quick edit and put the letters back in. One word that consistently appears to be mangled is the word "one". It comes out as "e". "Someone" comes out as "Somee" and "Intro" became "Intr". I think it is getting mangled when it converts it to HTML, but I am not sure.

An accident on my part... I told it to replace all instances of "on" with nothing. I do have to parse the memory for certain security measures because anyone can in theory put "any" HTML they want to into the memory.

As a security precaution, steps are taken to limit bad posts.

For example. If a user enters in a start of a <table> amd forgets or removes the </table>

it would completely break that crawl_memories page because the site layout would "blow out".

The crawl memories page has a lot of stuff to help prevent anything bad from happening. A hacker can do bad things when you allow them to insert tags and if you clicked on malicious links, that is not a good thing.
