The server choked on something weird in the link. If you still have that link around, you could maybe send it to my profile addy, so I can see how to protect us from it happening again.

eta: Got your link. Thanks aurelia.

It looks fine, to me: [link]

... doesn't choke now, so I'm going with the malevolent gamma rays theory.

further edit: ita, that makes sense. I just added the span to the replacement regex, then. There was already a "spoiler" class in the css, so I used it.

In music, attempting to post, I got the following screen:

October 26, 2004, 6:57 am Lyra Jane[238]: ERROR [2] Unknown modifier '2' line 597 of file /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/post.php

And when I clicked refresh, I got:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&(@#& are the developers?

Were you trying to post a link? What sort of post was it?

There was a link in there, but it wasn't just a link -- it was two responses to board quotes (using the > shortcut), including a link in my response. I used the a href for the link -- could that be the problem?

Probably not. But if you have the text of what you were posting (slim chance, I know), forwarding it to Gus may be useful.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't keep it. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

It looks fine, to me: [link]

I guess the timing is a little off for me to say "look at all the reality-based communities on the internets" now, huh? It seemed more amusing last night.

Gus, I commented out _closevalues because it wouldn't let me post the following:

I wish
i Surviving Christmas
ranked a little more than <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/surviving_christmas/">8% at Rotten Tomatoes</a>. I swear the trailer looked funny.

Did anyone read the "review" of
i The Machinist
in last week's EW? Didn't really discuss the movie, but instead took Bale to task for losing all that weight when there are hungry people in the world.

Very odd, and not at all relevant.

(note: I haven't transferred the quickedit stuff to production yet)

(note2: it seems to be closing my <br>s with </b>s)

commented out _closevalues

Makes sense. The line numbers of those two odd messages (aurelia's and LJ's) are in that method. Also, the scare-quotes thing tommyrot found would be in that method. _closevalues needs a good spanking.

Let me recall. You use Opera, aureila & LJ use something Mac (IE 5.1?). Tommy also sometimes uses something Mac (Safari?).There may be a quirks thing going on.

It got late here, so there probably won't be any progress on this today.

Tommy also sometimes uses something Mac (Safari?)

Depending on what OS I'm running, I either use Mozilla, Mozilla, Mozilla, or Firefox. (I use Firefox only on my work XP machine.)
