If you scroll down to the grey bar near the bottom of the screen that has the "Quick Style Chooser" box in its far left, there is something odd. directly above said style chooser box. It says "{ms}" directly above the grey bar.

Why is that? Is it there for a particular reason, or is it a mistake or error, or is my browser messed up?

It's just that my curiosity acting up here, and I the wondering about it was killing me, for some odd reason or other.

I see it as well. What browser do you have?

I see it also and I use FireFox as a browser...I think it's just the php coding.

What browser do you have?
Firefox.

Firefox.

Same here.

I can see it in Exploder.

it is a sign that the end is coming.




just so I'm on topic, I see it as well, el firefoxo

I'm beginning to think it might mean that all our base are belong to Microsoft.

Did you guys look a movie called The Net?
The Praetorians used a program, the Gatekeeper, to get into secret, private, confidential data. They had a small icon on the bottom right of the page.
After they were uncovered they had to change their ways. They replaced the icon with another harmless looking piece of coding.

In the movie something happened when you put Ctrl-shift down and clicked the left mouse button. Apparently they got smarter now and that combination doesn't work.

"Must Scream"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's {ms} isn't it? So possibly Micro Soft? Relating to your operating system? Is anyone using linux or a mac? Bear in mind that I know squat about the web.

It's probably a VBulletin "placeholder" in the template, which would normally be replaced by some code (ala #include in C++, for example). However, perhaps it's malformed in some way, else that functionality on this board has been disabled.

Hmm...

That's the table from the source. Looks like it's a placeholder, or something nobody bothered to clean up.
