Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Betsy made what I saw as a small mistake in a post, giving the following HTML:
<p>Your modem too slow? <a href='http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=300&e=17&u=/ibsys/20021108/lo_wisc/1382225">Try this.</a>
But that ' " mismatch broke the table layout, and made the edit function not work. I had to edit the database directly.
Guh. Another thing to fix. Is it something inherent in the tableosity of the pages?
I wondered what the frell was going on. I tried to edit that post, too, and it just sat there and ignored me.

Gahh! Might be worth an effort to recreate the html of that errored page. Maybe if we look at it, we can figure out how to rejigger the page so it doesn't happen again.
Or recreate the error on the test site. We know what the text was that caused the error.
It seems at first glance that the problem is just that no links after that point on the page would work, or to put it another way, the whole of the rest of the page was included in the link, but I don't understand how that would break the Edit function, as it would have come before the error.
Jon, check the test site to see the impact.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I wouldn't want to do it again here!
t edit whoops! Hi ita!
but I don't understand how that would break the Edit function, as it would have come before the error.
I'm guessing that the edit function is similar to a single post page, in that it reposts the post to be edited, so any ensuing effects would be the same.
edit: To be clear, we could get to the Edit Post page, and edit the text, but the post button didn't work.
Yowsa! That's one table-breaker, ain't it?
I'll have to look at it at home, where I've got better html editing/analysis tools. I might not get to it for a couple of days (I'm in the middle of a big fundraising project with my radio station). I'm sure it can wait until then, but if someone else wants to take a crack, feel free.
There's an unclosed size tag in post 5039 of Firefly.
Ok, nevermind. It's been fixed.
