Seems to be a bug with the "<" sign

[MrKowz]

Was just posting over in the questions forums, trying to post the following line:

=IF(A2+30 <TODAY(),"PAST DUE","")

Notice the extra space after the A2+30... I had to put that there, otherwise the board was automatically truncating it to

=IF(A2+30

Any ideas on how to bypass this little bug aside from adding the space?

Also, the bug seems to randomly happen sometimes. It has happened to me in the past, and I have seen it happen with other people's posts.

Its been a known problem. You can put your formula in php tags, but when you go to edit it at any time it will not be there.

=IF(A2+30<TODAY(),"PAST DUE","")

You just have to put this without the asterisk:

[php*]code[/php*]

Hope that helps.

I suppose it is a problem but it's not a bug.

That's just the way the board software deals with that character, I think it regards it as the opening of a HTML or PHP or BB or something tag.
