Hey, any WordPress users encounter the annoying bug where using the < char (e.g. whenever someone tries to put in the ubiquitous >_< face) will truncate comments? Obviously for me, this is not a problem since I am used to typing in &###; whenever I need to put in a less-than sign, but it messes up comments as readers wonder why WordPress ate half their text.
I’m going to try out the Preserve Code Formatting plugin, and hopefully this will help solve the problem. Any other suggestions are also welcome.

It’s annoying when I can’t finish off that face, so I’m glad to see that it seems too have been solved. >
This is one small step for Sea Slugs, one giant step for anime blogging kind!

Looks like it doesn’t exactly work…
I see. >
So does it work or does it not work? haha

>___< should work, but this one probably won't: >__<
I wonder if this part will be cut off.
In the end, there can only be one. >__
I think maybe this only works for admins… Reminds me of the spoiler tag plugin… I’m open to any advice.
Looks like comments still get cut off for normal commenters.

Though there is always the chance of getting the > and < mixed up.
Doh! >_<
Kinda tedious to use HTML to make a smiley though. @,@;

(>oI’ve never encountered that problem or at least haven’t had anyone complain about it. Heh, it’s funny how this little post can generate so many silly comments. >(^_^)
