"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

No problem. It made me neaten up my subs, which I really needed to do.

I have been suffering from The World's Crappiest DSL Connection at home for the past couple of weeks, and this site is the only one that continues to load quickly and without wacky-ass formatting (I'm looking at you, New York Times.) Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I take it that this post contains a link,and that the full text reads:

Suddenly I want to go as an iPod ad for Halloween. But I won't.

For me, it's showing up with no link, and only the following text:

Suddenly I want to go as an for Halloween. But I won't.

I seem to be seeing other links (of both the "[link]" and regular old fashioned a href variety), so I don't know what the problem is. I'm running Windows XP Professional, and IE v. 6.

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

Here's the text of the post:

Suddenly I want to go as an <a href="http://images.apple.com/ca/fr/quicktime/images/ipod_ad.gif">iPod ad</a> for Halloween. But I won't.

It's perfectly compliant. I can't see any board-related reason it wouldn't show for you. Is anyone else having this problem?

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

It looks fine to me.

Just out of curiosity, I'm going to copy & paste the text into a new post in natter, and see what happens.

When I posted it, I can still only see:

Suddenly I want to go as an for Halloween. But I won't.

Whatever it is, it seems specific to that link. Or maybe to that link in Natter.

I'm going to copy and paste the whole thing here, to see what happens.

Suddenly I want to go as an iPod ad for Halloween. But I won't.

It's not specific to Natter. I'm still seeing only:

Suddenly I want to go as an for Halloween. But I won't.

Do you have another browser at home you could try it on? Also, can you save the HTML of your screen and e-mail it to my profile address as an attachment?

I don't have another browser on this machine.

The HTML of my screen? Do I get that by right clicking and selecting "view source"?

I'm not sure I've worked out how to send an attachment with gmail, yet, so it might be coming from my netscape address--camb1b.
