It looks fine to me too!

I had that, too, but all it needed was for me to widen the browser window.

My browser window is as big as I can get it. I guess I'll request a bigger monitor, or shorten the tag line.

looks better now. I thought maybe the board didn't like Avril Lavigne.

I know you guys have working on the "on" problem. I can now create it consistently.

Take the example of the t pre tag.

If I something like this: t pre one t /pre

no problem:

 

But the following verse which is wrapped in "pre" tags:

1) This old man.
2) He played .
3) He played knicknack on my thumb..

Note that the "one" on the second line of the verse poofs, but he "on" third does not.

Only the first instance gets stripped.

I don't have your stripping code to debug. But I think this info may give you a clue as to what is going wrong. It is a lot easier to find a solution when you can define with some precision what the problem is.

I think it may also have something to do with preceding the "on" word with a space.

Whee! Looks good, folks.

Minor cosmetic suggestion -- I'm wondering if maybe the text-entry box should be centered? What do people think?

The text entry box, and the instructions above it, and the "post message" button, should all be left-aligned in the middle column. Maybe even above the invisible asterisks.

Left-aligned in the center column is a better idea than centering, yes. And perhaps the two lines of information about the box could be separated by a "br" rather than a "p."

If it's just HTML, I may have some time to code if needed.

I'm just wondering, if you have the time to say, why are there white-fonted asterisks instead of a collection of  s?

If I only had a brain...

Oooh. Secret asterisks. it's like the prize at the bottom of the CrackerJacks!
