ita, DX, insent.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Got it, Tom.
It works.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I took a look at that bad URL sitch with Jilli's post. See: DXMachina "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Mar 31, 2004 8:15:06 pm PST
The good news is that a post only becomes uneditable if the href URL opens with a single quote and ends with a double quote. If the reverse error is made, it can be edited and corrected by the user. Also, the problem *mostly* self-corrects after another post is made. The original post is still messed up, and part of the user/date stamp of the following post is messed up, but posts after that are perfectly normal and the rest of the page isn't affected.
The bad news is that I have no idea how to fix the problem by redesigning the page. I think we need a code fix, like a regex, to fix any badly formed href URLs that are entered.

One interesting thing about having a ton of newbies around is that they find lots of new and fascinating ways to break the board. In this post,

The line, "<I am REALLY upset by this. Anything I know about sentence structure seems to have flown out the window.>" was interpreted by the system as an italics tag.
I fixed the post. (edit: And then she did as well, deleting the line. Oh well.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
New Minearverse thread, please. (As I say this, I'm sure it's being created. Because ya'll are fly like that.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When the Minearverse 'turned over' I was seeing three different post #10,000s (different users and text).
edit: still true. And FWIW, I had post 10,001, and now it's one of the post 10,000s.

And they were separated by 2 seconds each, even. Hmm.
AND they took the place of 9998 and 9999 instead of 10001 and 10002. Hmm again.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Sorry DX... :( I didn't mean to break the board.
ETA: Does this count as a trip into the guac?

Minearverse2 has (had) a post 31 of 30.
edit: Minearverse2 seems to be behaving itself now.
