Help
Over in the mafia sub, every post by every user posting has been having an automatic bold effect added to it. It only seems to be happening in that one thread though. Any ideas what may have caused this?
https://forum.malaza...r/page__st__200. It starts at post #218.

All posts automatically bolding in one thread.

I can't see the issue on ip mobile skin. I'll have to check it out when I'm at home on my computer.

It's been solved by appearance of a new page of the thread, plus apparently JPK has figured it out at the same time anyway so I guess it's good

Too many quote and bold block tags and somehow one opening [ b] got applied to the whole page, it seems. Weird, must just be a software glitch when you have a particular combination of tags in a page.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Yeah, that's exactly what it seemed to be. When I used path-shaper to delete all the bolding tags (open and close) from the post that originated the issue, it cleared up the rest of the page.
Sorry I forgot to update here that I figured it out, but at least people will know what to look for as a fix if it somehow pops up again.

Ah, that's one of the little quirks of code tags. I'm pretty sure the editor checks for sufficient open and close tags for things like quotes, but I don't think it does it for formatting tags. Blegh.

No worries, it got resolved, which is the important thing.
Also, your current avatar is amazing! Though much as I am enjoying Pokemon Sun (nice to have a noticeable change of setting and some new quirks to old favourites), I think I preferred Y. XD
