Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I just had my first weird bug-that-can-only-be-discovered-through-random-user-behavior.
Where was this?
Over in the Angel thread, but I did again when I tried to explain what happened over here. I'm fairly sure that my text was stripped because the open caret made it look like bad html.
Do you mean you used one of these: < ? Those have to be written using the entity <.
Feature request, if possible. On the confirmation page for "set profile", if the proposed tagline could be already limited to what's allowable (rather than just reiteration of what I pasted in there). As an alternative, perhaps a line above the tagline entry box that says how many characters are allowed.

Voila! Minor mystery solved.
Minor mystery solved.
Is that like Trixie Belden?
No! What I meant to say was Jon, how do you code the box to accept no more than 255 characters?
I'd personally prefer a note saying no more than 255, because I like to keep a record of past tags in my profile, and if I can past the new tag into the box and then cut the old tag out and put it into my general profile box, it's easier than pasting the new tag into the location bar at the top of my screen, cutting the old tag and pasting it into the profile box, and then picking the new tag back up from the location bar and pasting it into the tagline box.
But that's just me and my silliness.

It's more important to avoid people having to count the characters in their taglines. You'll work out another way.
For service like this I'm gonna have to find a ventilated box and some chloroform.
