there wouldn't be a whole lot of "the whole of the rest of the page" left to disappear
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...)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

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?

I couldn't either, until Anne posted a post after msbelle's (# 965) and then I could read the whole page just fine, only there was no separating line between msbelle's post (# 964) and Anne's (# 965).
[Edit: now it's OK for me, too]

If an admin wants to get info on what I had posted to try and figure out what was wrong, email me.
