As this:

Code: Select all

...ended up blanking out the post's content in the thread, but when I click on that blanked post to Edit it, its contents appear just as they do in the code section above.

Parentheses in links don't work here, but you can use these:

Code: Select all

'(' = %28
')' = %29
For instance:
