    Hi,

    When I try to post some XML tags they get vanished, also the data inside it.

    Is there I'm missing something or it is known issue on the forums?

    Now a days XML queries are widely used. Very much required to post them for some solutions.

    See I included some them in this post, but can't seem to find them.

    Known issue. The forum code doesn't escape the < and > and treats anything inside them as if it were html. Html posting isn't allowed (for obvious reasons) so any xml disappears.

    It's a poor workaround but you can, before you post, do a search and replace in your favorite text editor and replace > with &_gt_; (remove underscores) and < with &_lt_;

    I think it is one of the things that's been looked at.

    We have a fix (I think) in test now. We're hoping to roll that out before too much longer.
