Ive been trying to use this as a signature but it never comes out right on this site!

Type: Left bracket, o (letter,not number) back slash, space, exclaimation mark, space, forward slash, o, right bracket. It looks like a bug but every time I go to use it on this site the back slash shows up when I type it but not when post/reply/U2U etc. is actually posted???

eg:

(o ! /o)
