Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
What does the code for [continued] do when someone adds text during editing?
There is a an additional allowance of 2000 characters for the ammendment. The ammendment stays with the fragment. If the edited fragment exceeds 6000 characters (from the original 4K), it is brutally truncated.
Or, pretty close to what ita said.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ok. I was just curious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gus -- your code didn't like this URL: http : //tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|91330|1|,00.htm

You spaced up the colon after 'http', so you could post, right?
Will test.

Yup.
It chopped it up and repeated it, so I commented out that code in production.

OK, got the problem. That site uses a pipe ('|') to delimit parms, in contravention of all standards and sense. It will be fixed despite my desire to adhere to the Godly Word of the W3C.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've noticed pipe | being used a lot on sites lately. Is this a new fad?

I just wanted to pop over here and say a hearty thank you to the board developers for making b.org so damned user friendly and easy to read. Black boards and so very eye-strainy.
So thanks.

Big chunk of discussion got chopped out, for me. What the hell is that?
My last post on that topic was:
What would we experience differently?
Someone drops a link to a book purchase into a discussion, let us say. I am reading this discussion as: The Buffistas preference would be that this link would be, more preferably, a pointer to the Buffistas affiliate link to that book purchase. There would be posts related to this preference. That is one difference.
Another difference could be visual. If there is a stack of vendor buttons somewhere around the site, there might be some conflict with the concept of we being fan-supported and fiercely independent.
