The title is strangely broken -- that may have something to do with it.
Looking at code in a sec.
edit: no longer broken. Go whoever
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I fixed it. There needed to be quotes around the times class. (i.e. class="times").

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Fixed now. Thanks, whomever.

I just changed the thread title again because the quotes were messing up the maintain threads page. I replaced the double quotes with single quotes and it seems to all look good now.

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

Also, I notice that when you look at the thread in the thread maintenance page, it replaces the entities with their representations, so that if you resave the thread, you probably lose them.
Another thing about the thread maintenance page. Do we need the list of editors on that page, because it's really slowing down the loading of the page?

Not really stoopid. On the maintain threads page, the thread title appears within a text box. the html for this parameter is value="Natter 17 = 4² - cos(<font class="times">... etc.
As soon as the quote at the start of "times" was reached, the value parameter was closed and the rest of the text was ignored. Using single quotes solved the problem.
However, when I went in to fix the title the first time, there were no quotes around "times" at all. Not sure how that affected things; I just know it wasn't working.

Well, we need a way to control who can post in a thread. That's how we limit Nillytown to Nilly, etc. Any change to that mechanism would involve more than a bit of work.

I forgot about Nillytown. Still, we're loading over a thousand user names into the combo box every time we want to edit a title.

It's something that could be better, but given that it's normally only used once every couple of weeks, I don't think it should be given high priority.
