Yo, canna save the edit on the problem link in this post.
It's a single-quote/double-quote mismatch in the HREF. Also, I'm not sure if that #a342 garbage at the end of the html is relevant.

it was bad; it might have been Latin.

The pound is relevant. Usually, I can fix a quote mismatch pretty easily, but this time, it wasn't letting me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So the URL was [link] and there was a mismatched quote in the href?

Yep. Opened with a single quote, closed with a double quote.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I just tried it over in Gus's lab, and the unmatched quotes were fixed automatically. Pretty cool.

If I only had a brain...
Guys,
I have a really bad typo problem. I tend not to hit the shift key long enough, so I start hrefs with a ' and end them with a ". I do try to check for this, honest.
But whenever I make this mistake, it screws the board up something fierce. Is there any way to check for a ' immediately after href=?

Betsy, maybe just do single quotes only? I know the brain automatically tries, but at least in the short run.
The other thing might be to just put a comma after what you want as the link subject, and just put the link there after it so Gus's magic [link] appears, like a footnote.

Weirdest thing, though. When I broke the board, it was because of a missing quote at the end of the URL in a link.
But when I went to edit it, my posting button woundn't work. I even tried it from IE instead of Netscape. No go.
In the end deleting was all I could do.
