Mistaking symbols for HTML markup?

[http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum1/noncgi]

I was trying to make a post using the Less Than symbol ( < ), and it gave me a weird error that it was unable to post because there was a parenthesis in the HTML markup. Huh?

the <> are used for HTML code just like the [] are used for coding UBB.

Yes, I know that, but normally the UBB can handle a < symbol without any problems. For some reason, on that one post, it wouldn't. I was just wondering if there might have been a problem or if something had been changed.
