Text shortened fix

Sometimes the text shortens to exlude a "[/]"

This makes your reply automatically show up as the last [b or i] used.

I suggest either making the text shorten code refrain from deleting any []s or [/]s OR for any of these in a quoted post not to have any effect on the new post.

A better fix would be, if shortening text, to exclude both the [] and the corresponding [/], or neither.
But that assumes that the post was correct in the first place. You can mess up a post by putting random, unpaired [] or [/]s in (like [b]this[/i]) and that causes the ideal algorithm to fail. Then again, one could argue that such a post was brok ...[text shortened]... th, and if the quote is also broken, that's not the code's fault but the poster's.
