I tried commenting on someone's page:
"Saw you bought my primal cub and gave her a little flower <3 Happy to see she went to someone who loves her already >^-^< "
and it posted as:
"Saw you bought my primal cub and gave her a little flower ^-^"
It seemed to get rid of half of the comment, the heart emoticon, and the 2nd emoticon's arms. Is this normal? I thought maybe I hit a character limit, but then why would the 2nd emoticon still be there (albeit without it's arms), then I thought maybe the comment system has an odd filtering system/ doesn't support characters like <, >, or numbers
I'm a little confused haha, anyone know what's up with that?
(Also I'm hoping that the forums don't have this same issue or this post is gonna be incomprehensible)

Yes, it's probably related to special characters like that. It's most likely a measure put in place to prevent things like trying to post lines of code in peoples' shoutboxes. I'm sure there's a character limit that would prevent significant exploits anyway, but it's probably another safety measure.

It is really odd the way it chopped up your comment, though.
