It's fixed, Kristin. An unclosed tag bleeds over to whatever's on the rest of that screenful of posts. So when you first posted, you got your post and the one before it, and no big, but when you hit recent, you got the whole page including the offending post -- and therefore big again.

Is the Bitch thread broken? Every time I click on the link, I get the page header, but nothing else.
Was there a link in your last post, Tep? I noticed it ended with a bunch of asterisks, and the "Read New | Message Center | etc" row was missing from the page.
It may be a screwy tag.
fixed now, tep. There was a missing quotation mark in a tag. (And Go Team Firefox for displaying the page anyway instead of breaking it altogether!)
Posting in bitches just now, got a 404, then the where are the developer's error after refreshing and got it again after refreshing again.
I'm just wondering outloud here, but wouldn't a 404 error indicate a problem with Apache (the web server) rather than with the database or the php code?
Yup. I don't know where to being with an intermittent one of those.
What, specificly, causes a 404? Is it that the browser makes a page request and the server never replies? Or is it before that, when a DNS server says the server you're trying to connect to doesn't exist?
I'm thinking it's the latter. If the page request goes to the server and the server never replies, you just get a timeout, right?
404s are returned by the web server, if you ask for a page that it doesn't think exists.
The page you get if the domain doesn't exist is dependent on the browser. Opera will tell me there's a network problem. I'm not sure what message you get if the domain exists but doesn't have a web server at that port.
