not recognizing some keyboard characters

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)

Matt.

(o\\ ! /o)

Ok to get 1 slash you need to use 4

so \\ = \\\\\\\\

so do your beetle like this

(o\\\\\\\\ ! /o)

and this will be the result

(o\\ ! /o)

Thanks Mike,
Wow youre finger must be sore after all those back slashes!

Matt. (o\\ ! /o)
