If you use any tags in a post go and look at it after you post it. If you fucked the thread up, fix it.

Count, that wasn't nearly as funny as you probably intended. Ramnza and I are trying to get ready for our wedding.

I was kinda hoping being rude would get more attention than this. Oh well, hopefully enough people read it.

Holy shit people. Is it really to much to ask that you TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR POST after you post it to check your tags?

Or maybe before? There's a preview... Would it tell?

Why can't the php count pairs? I mean really.

The forums have been getting slow to load pages for me, these days. So rather than waste time waiting for a preview, or for the results of a post, I just post then close the tab - and seeing as, with all my posting, I've made that mistake a total of one time, I think it's forgiveable.

Unless of course Surgo is perfect and doesn't make these kinds of mistakes, in which case I humbly atone and ask for his divine grace to grant forgiveness to this humble soul.

Yes, preview will show you if your tags are fucked up.

Huh. No problems with lag here. It might be regional.

Also....

He was joking, obviously.

Count already did that "joke" and was reprimanded by the appropriate authorities, Sigma.

Sigma,

I try really hard not to make things personal on this board and I give you guys (I have been told) way too much god damn leeway. But I am on my fucking HONEYMOON and the last thing I fucking need is people intentionally creating things for me to fix WHEN I HAVE ALREADY TOLD SOMEONE ELSE TO CUT IT OUT. That shows an unforgivable lack of respect.

Be advised, one and all, if I get the idea that you have intentionally sabotaged your post you will be banned.

Try me if you don't believe it.

I'm not sure how this is even possible, but I get the grand 404 after page 10 of 4e quirks loads. I think it's thew tags. I'm not sure, cause now the page loads from my cache and goes directly to 404, does not pass GO!, does not collect 200 Internetz. I'll blame the tags anyway.

Some observation of my own mistagging mistakes leads me to conclude:

1. If you use the button to open a tag but physically enter the closing tag, it'll screw up because when you post it, it'll automatically 'hit the button' and add another close tag, leading to all kinds of shenanigans.

2. Trying to edit a quote, especially with multiple quote tags, can easily mess up the whole damn thread. On my computer, when I'm trying to highlight and delete a tag, it tries to grab more or less than it should be grabbing, and if I don't pay attention, it can screw up.

There's a couple more, but those are the main ones to watch out for.

Oh, and you can check to see who did it by quoting them and looking through their tags. In the link in the above post, RC did it--he's got an extra quote-close tag, probably done by using the button to open/keyboard to close.

RC wasn't the only one. There was an extra close-quote in my first post on that page. The second edit is when I went through and manually found it after figuring out that there was a shift to the right after my post. It appears that close-quotes don't show up in the preview, but will fuck up the page after they've been posted.
