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

Let's do the debugging in the BBaBB thread over there.

I've made a couple tweaks -- can you try subscribing again and post the results on .net?

Gus! In testing Cindy's problem on .net I discovered a weirdness with the tidy code. I've posted some of the offending text in your site, BBaBB.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

The tidy code is trying to apply html rules to sql strings, in your example. Unmixy things.

Coders trying to talk to each other may have to use an equiv entity, thusly:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS sub_count FROM subscriptions WHERE user_id≡2 AND thread_id≡32

... because there is no entity to represent '=' ...

We may also see other, non-code user posts that have an equal mark in them being decorated oddly. Not too sure how big a problem that is. The problem stays within the post. Buffistas, on the whole, are not so finger-lazy that they can not type 'equals', when they mean to.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Okay, that's strange. When I try to log in at buffistas.net, it doesn't work. With Am-Chau Yarkona/old password (which I'm pretty convinced is right, because I... haven't changed it yet, actually), it throws me back to Buffistas Home, still with the "you are in guest mode" message; with Am-Chau/old password, I get "You don't seem to have a matching user id/password combination", still on the log in page. I guess if an admin can reset my password, that would sort it, but it seemed strange enough (the two different responses to what, if it's that my password is wrong, should be the same fault) to report in detail.

What is even happening?

ita, the code displays are getting bigger on .net. Details in BBaBB, there.

There isn't any way to turn it off? I use = all the time, and don't like my post being something other than what I typed in, unless it's to save the board.

Am-Chau, I'll get right on that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oops...

So does Nilly. Somehow "9 equals 1+1+7" just isn't the same.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Plus the whole != nomenclature.
