Recently, I've been seeing HTML in the comment box, most visible when i'm quoting someone (see attachment), clicking on the icon doesn't seem to do anything, actually it doesn't appear to be active At first I thought it's my browser but after a restart it's still doing the same thing.
Got a tip for us?

How often do you see it? It's possible the person tried to put in HTML them self not realizing it wasn't accepted and they were suppose to use the vB Code markup.

You can type HTML tags in a post, but the HTML won't be "processed". It'll be treated simply as regular text. We have purposely disabled the use of HTML since it would not be safe. Markup must use vBulletin tags. If you see HTML in a post, it may be the result of somebody copying/pasting from elsewhere. If they notice that the markup doesn't work they will probably remove the tags or switch them to vBulletin markup.
