Today is bye-bye day for the map hosting. Also, the tv tropes wiki will be down for a few weeks.

Profile addy good, but responses will be slow. I'll probably pop back up in the Fall.

Tootles.

Thanks, Gus. Is the zip you'd listed above the most ultra-plus-current, or should I grab it again?

It looks like there was a data change after the last zip. I updated the archive just now (at the same address). The host power goes off in about two hours.

Duly grabbed, GusWhoWillBeSorelyMissedUntilHisReturn.

Quick question for Stompies.

I just created a message for "movies" using code including ampersands and semicolons. All of it clean. I swear. Triple checked it.

Are older html codes usable?

What old HTML codes do you mean? Any unsupported (but correctly formatted) HTML tag gets stripped. But you sound like you mean entities -- I can't be sure.

I used the ampersandnesemicolon for the "not equal" math sign. Plus, an ampersandeacutesemicolon for an accented e. Plus, an ampersandinfinsemicolon for an infinity sign. And, lastly, ampersandthere4semicolon for the mathematical 'therefore'.

I posted it and everything looked good, but I panicked because the times when I've bleeded out an open tag, the error has not shown up on my screen (at all...everyone else's messages look fine to me too).

I deleted it right away and came here instead. As I say, it looked great, but I didn't want to mess anything up if the board coding would be offended.

Entities are just fine. Used here all the time.

Thanks! Both for the reassurance and correct terminology.

The worst that would happen is that it would display with the ampersandtextsemicolon, rather than the entity you wanted. But they can't harm anything because they're self-contained. Unlike an open tag which can affect everything that comes after it.
