No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Neat! My last post goes into the thread header now! This is like bouncing on the bed, so fun until I break the board or ita catches me and makes me stop.

edit: I think what's happening is that when my post containing

t pre
t td class=textarea
t textarea name="message" rows="8" cols="50" wrap="PHYSICAL"
t /pre

is the last post on a page, the messages that follow it are getting sucked up into the thread header. Currently going to Jess PMoon "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Oct 30, 2002 10:58:07 pm EST makes this happen. Might be just my session. I'm using IE6.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Nou, your {td} element isn't closed, which is probably why the post goes into the header.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Okay, in Opera on the Mac, this is a really screwed up page.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Wow! That was weird. The mere existence of a t td t /td pair within a post, without a t table t /table pair around them, causes havoc with the tables on this page.

I fixed the post, but couldn't put in what Noumenon wanted because form tags are not allowed in posts.

The easiest way to avoid this is to disallow tables. Otherwise, it adds a new wrinkle to the tag-not-closed-in-a-post problem --- The tag is closed, but it's still screwing up the page.

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

Gack. I really don't want tables disallowed, since I use them fairly often.

But that's not good.

No, it's really not. I'm surprised the bug didn't show itself earlier.

You could be incredibly elitist and allow only admins to use tables. ;)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Unclosed font size tag here (Nevermind, fixed)

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

Got it, Jess. Thanks.

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

No, it's really not. I'm surprised the bug didn't show itself earlier.

I'm not all that surprised, because it's probably very rare that a <td> tag would be used in a post unless the poster was doing a table in the first place. The only reason it showed up in Noumenon's post was because he quoted a snippet of code.

I'm not sure we really have to worry about this too much right now. I'd rather see us address the problem of making sure all the open tags are closed properly first.

I agree that the open tag issue should be addressed first, but this resulted in such a hideous error --- posts in the wrong order, pieces of posts in strange places ("Posts! Posts in new places!"), that I don't think we want to let it slide for too long.
