lookbehind assertion require fixed length string as its parameter. but you intend to put arbitary length string between `<!--' and `[!' so the solution can be 1, remove html comments first before do bbcode expansion. 2, change bbcode tags to something like `[!-- .* --!]', that is define a new tag of bbcode comments, which is independent to html comments.
