Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Up with the sun

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.)

I've been using Safari lately.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Gus, another question on the earlier whitefont project.

Once you have sorted out the whitefont coding, how hard would it be to make it a checkbox in the threads, or on the board for a user to just check "Make whitefont visable" in the same fashion as we have for setting a time for our browser refresh?

Just a thought. It might be handy to be able to click it on and off right at the time one wanted to see everything, then turn it off for other things.
