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

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
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.
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. ;)
Unclosed font size tag here (Nevermind, fixed)
Got it, Jess. Thanks.

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.
It just occured to me that we should probably define NAFDA on the front page....
It's in the FAQ.
