Yeah, that's what happens if you're missing the last quote marks or whatever. Try it! It's fun!
Or whatever. At least it's easily fixed.

OK I think I speak for all cody people around here when I say I have no idea what you're talking about.
Maybe the SecretHiddenAsterisks near the bottom of the page became a part of the post?
Well yeah, except also the whole of the rest of the page would disappear. And there were problems for Stompyfeet who tried to edit out the problem.
Can you describe the problem in detail, someone?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
And there were problems for Stompyfeet who tried to edit out the problem.
That was fixed a few weeks back. Bad posts should always be editable now. And if Jesse's post was the last post on the page, then there wouldn't be a whole lot of "the whole of the rest of the page" left to disappear.
But, actually, only part of the rest would disappear. Once another quote appears (and there are plenty in the code that appears on every page), the page tends to find its way back to normality.
Try it in test, John, and see for yourself.

I get it. So it's "the whole of the rest of the page, up to a point that we can't determine"...
But the stomp-a-matronic will fix all that.

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
I actually made a drop-the-quotation-mark error the other day and it showed up asterisked out.
OK I think I speak for all cody people around here when I say I have no idea what you're talking about.
I had that too in Noumenon "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Nov 16, 2002 7:47:50 pm EST (but it's fixed now). I don't know where the asterisks come from either. Lemme post twice to see if this messes up just at the end of the page. [Edit: Yeah. The asterisks are from the end of the page (I thought the "Read New" link would catch it) and it only eats the contents of t a and the t hr between my posts once there's another post on the page.]
Test: I forgot to close a quotation mark on

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
(What do the SHAs do, by the way? I've always wondered...)

IIRC, it fixed a Netscape 4 problem where if there were no posts long enough to wrap onto a second line, the table columns got all furwonky. The SHAs were the only way I could solve the problem.
Of course, I just tried to recreate the problem but couldn't.
Numenon - I edited your post to close the quote on your link, to be extra-safe.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
AHHH. did I break the Bureaucracy thread? I typed in a post and hit post and got a screen with the thread title, but no posts.
My post had two (font size="-#") tages that I closed with (/font) instead of ().

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
when I see your post msbelle, I see 50 million asterisks after it?
