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 ().

when I see your post msbelle, I see 50 million asterisks after it?

I can't see past post #959 in there. huh. can't go in to edit it. Stompy foot? help.

ok now it is fine and I took out my tags in case they were the cause of weirdness.

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.

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.

I have a question about the search engine -- are the posts returned in any order, or just randomly? I thought they used to be returned chronologically, but I tried it this morning, and they're all mixed up.
