scratchchin this could be, because the HTML number for ASCII charcters end with an " ; " (example: € or € for " € " ), and the forum software interprets the " ; " and the following " ) " as

The forum software doesn't replace the HTML numbers with the according charcters (in the actual thread; it works in the preview though), since some members used these to circumvent the swear filters with these.

OK, but what do you mean by "Alt Gr" ?
Also, any way of me making a pound sign? I usually use & as a substitute.
