Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I guess that's a bug, then?

A confusing one. I mean, the HTML has t blockquote and t /blockquote in it, and the tag isn't overriden by the CSS as far as I can tell.

As for the t b change--already made.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Note: I fixed a long piece of unbroken text in Jon's post #1338 that was giving me a horizontal scroll bar in Firefox.

Ha!

the blockquote thing is weird. I'll have to compare the b.org source vs. the css.b.net source and see if i can spot any meaningful differences.

ita -- I looked through the source code, and I have no idea why the blockquote tag isn't working on the css server. So I made a small change to the code. In the same way you grepped the ">" to be a cite tag, and then defined "cite" in the stylesheet, I made the "]" quickedit into a dfn tag and added it to the stylesheet.

It was a simple change, but let me know if I did anything stupid.

There's something weird going on in the Other Media thread. It looks as though there is an unclosed italics tag somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it. It starts here:

Daisy Jane "Other Media 2: It's Astounishing!" Jul 10, 2007 5:28:42 pm PDT

The thing is, DJ used the quick-edit for italics, not the <i> tag, so it should've closed. None of the other posts seem to have the tag. It's very mysterious.

eta: And Jon figured it out. It was in the next post's tag.

I have a question- are the geo mailing lists disabled? I just tried to send something out to somervillains@buffistas.org and got a bounceback:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

: 205.214.170.170 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17) Giving up on 205.214.170.170.

The b.org mailing lists have nothing to do with yahoo. If you got a bounceback from yahoo, it's because one of the Somervillains has a now-defunct yahoo.com email address.

They should be working. I was able to log into the administrative interface, and that seems to work just fine. I'm not sure why your getting the rejection.

eta: And Jon comes through.

hm, ok, I was stupid to put the yahoo thing in there- I sent it FROM a yahoo account which is why that reference is there. Also, the C&P failed because of the auto formatting. Here's the actual thing:

somervillains@buffistas.org>: 205.214.170.170 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17) Giving up on 205.214.170.170.

And if it is just a rejection of someone's mailbox in the group, did either of you get the email I sent about Monday night's dinner? If not, then there's a problem...
