Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

I just chenged it to the quickedit instead of the "longhand" whitefont. Are posts below still inblisible?

They are perfectly blisible to me, but now it looks like they are being misspelled.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The HTML looked fine to you too, Jon?

Yeah. Seemed compliant.

Pttttht! DX

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

Fixed now, but before not only were all the posts after Eddie's whitefonted, the time/date stamp and the tags were also blinvisible. It was bluefont only.

I'm assuming you mean only the links showed? (My links aren't blue.)

Still have no idea why it would do that. Is it only in Safari?

Yes, the links. The user name, post number, mark and block.

I am using Safari.

Your tag here.

Hi, sorry for the trouble; I'm surprised my ownself. I am appreciating the irony though.

My only theory is the Safari HTML parser might be interpreting the stars as the start of a comment which would negate the font close tag. It's a bit of a stretch, but it's all I got.

I don't think so. It went away after I put the quote marks around 'white'.

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

Not for everyone -- or was there repeated editing?

Ah, didn't see Kat's post. I thought that did it. WTF?

And why couldn't she see it once Perkins could? That makes even less sense.

You want less sense? I edited the font tag back in, and could see it in Safari just fine.
