The last few times I've tried the traditional bracket symbol bracket for either bold or italics, it's eaten everything after the closing italic. This time, when I tried using bold surrounds on Teppy's name, it wiped out everything after her bold name.

Probably my browser, if nothing's changed. Hmmmm.

(Sorry - this ought to be in tech or somewhere.)

t b t /b and t i t /i should work just fine. However, if you mistype anything inside the t the tag will disappear entirely.

Got it. Will practice.

Thankee ma'am.

In LOTR:

dcp: I'm still astonished that Tolkien worked out all the genealogies as thoroughly as he did.

DXMachina: There was no internet in his day. He had no way else to procrastinate.

In Lost 1: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR:

beathen:

Thanks - now things are starting to make sense

DavidS:

That can't be right.

Cass shows that no browser gets between a Buffista and her board:

Firefox outsmarted me for a while but I think I made it bend to my will. It flat-out rejected any cookies and kept me from b.org for a while. We had a discussion. It now accepts some cookies. The bitch learns.

erikaj, in Bitches, as the Second Coming's Second Mother Mary:

"She told us it was too early for this...well, I'm not going to use the word she used, Messiah or no. Then she said we should read more books and stop looking for Mary in dirty windshields and grilled cheese. Because it's weird." one awestruck pilgrim recalled.

JohnSweden in Natter, responding to a discussion of how time-consuming it is to make Irish steel cut oatmeal:

Yeah. How unusual for the irish. Take something simple, perfect and life-affirming, that the Scots are doing right and make it drudgery, misery and eternal.

Example: hating the English.

BWAH!

Betsy, in the Movies thread:

I have been buying books for comfort as well as eating for comfort. Now I am having to buy clothes for discomfort.
