| When I list an item I can add comments.
Since the day I joined Bricklink I am using HTML in those comments (most for
vintage items), using Bold, font color and slashes.
It has been a long time since someone ordered one of these items, but I did get
messages from 2 different buyers, who where not able to place an order.
Below the comments field it says:
For security reasons, the special characters are encoded.
My questions are (hopefully someone has the answer):
Is there a list of special characters that I can't use anymore and causes
this problem?
Is HTML causing this problem?
It was working fine all these years. Bold and color font helps me very well to
pick the correct item.
Example:

I was able to add these items to my cart and made it all the way to the last
step of checkout. I'm not sure if that is where the problem is or not, but
through the rest of the process it appeared to be ok.

Maybe they have done it to stop sellers using those stupid smileys and other
non-ASCII characters in the item notes to try to get people to notice to see
those items. I don't think I've seen any for a while so maybe they are
blocked but this has a side effect of stopping other html coding.

The question is, if this is the case, can't I use html anymore?
Did you hear / read something about that?

You can use a limited subset of HTML in the extended description, but not in
the (shorter) immediate comments on the listing.

Thanks for your reply. Guess I can't use the color code anymore then.
It looks like BR, B and U don't cause any problems.
