Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

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

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.

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

Okay, here's something weird. I was browsing the board using Mozilla, and I noticed that every time I clicked 'Next', it was opening the next page in a new browser window. Also, if I clicked on a piece of text to copy it, instead of selecting the text, I got an outline of the HTML table cell that the text resided in, almost as if I was in a WSYSIWYG HTML editor. Very odd. I tried clicking on an external link, and now everything is working properly again, and I can no longer duplicate the behavior.

I hate computers.

Sounds like a weird-ass Mozilla bug.

That's my thought, too. Probably a momentary bad reaction to php.
