Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We know you turned the whole board pink again, Jon. It's okay. It's only affecting you.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I copy and paste from the quick-edit formatting link or the HTML one. Is one better than the other?

Do you mean is using the s quickedit any better than using the class="spoiler" code? No, they have the exact same effect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FTR, .net and .com expired over the weekend, but I just renewed them both and think we're OK. Sorry for spacing on doing that earlier.

I just went to edit my bookmarks and got the

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

error.

What I was trying to do was to add a description to my very last (most recently added) bookmark. When I typed it in, and clicked the OK box for that bookmark, I got the error message. I tried it about 3 times and the same thing happened each time.

FWIW, I'm using Safari 3.2.1 on a Mac running 10.4.11.

I'm not a developer, but I can replicate this error with a single quote in the Description field. Double quotes just result in the entire Description being ignored / not updated.

Steph L., any chance your description had a single quote as well?

It had an apostrophe -- maybe it was "read" as a single quote.

I'll go try it without the apostrophe and see what happens.

t edit It worked! ("Worked" in the sense of letting me save a description; not "worked" as in replicating the error.)

Thanks, 0!!!

When I say "single quote" I mean "apostrophe", although I suppose technically there's a difference in the publishing world. So, yeah, the error is replicated. The developer-types will probably want to do a little character-escaping on that form at some point.

0, I don't mean to be rude, but who are you? I've only seen you post a few times, and someone even asked you about yourself at one point without a reply. I'm confused about your investment in the community. Have you been lurking?

PixKristin, it's not rude to ask, it's understandable considering the small community here. I've been lurking for quite a while (I don't engage with the humans easily) and I've decided to try to become more involved lately.

I guess as far as "investment" goes, from my perspective I feel I belong here because of the time I've put in and I want to help support the site and its members as best I can. I can understand from your's and other's perspective there's naturally a bit of "whoTF is this person and what are they doing here?" because the interaction between you and me has been pretty much one-way up until now. All I can say is I'm harmless, just a bit of a misanthrope, and I hope I don't make anyone uncomfortable or generally weirded out.
