Or is it just me?

Nah I see the problem, its like the broken scroll bars or whatever that problem is called that occours in regions.

Dont know whats wrong with it and why though.

There we go, all better! :D

Now, let's take a look at the first affected post and examine what went wrong.

[code:1:8dc765d25d][quote="Tygaland"][quote="Bottle'][quote="Tygaland"]
<snip>[/quote]

you still haven't explained how discouraging teens from getting medical help is a good thing. why is that? perhaps you don't have an answer to studies like these:<snip>[/quote]

This is based on the assumption that I think that this legislation will "discourage teens from getting medical help". I do not believe this is the case.[/quote]

um, honey, those are all studies proving that it will. please read more carefully.[/code:1:8dc765d25d]

That's the code involved. I've snipped discussion text for brevity. Now, look at the "Bottle" nested QUOTE tag.

{quote="Tygaland"}{quote="Bottle'}{quote="Tygaland"}

See that? That's not the correct character to use there. It should be "Bottle", not "Bottle', and that's what caused the forum window to become incorrectly formatted.

This is why quote pyramids are discouraged. If misused, they're liable to mess up the forum window formatting.

Messing up the formatting deliberately is called "codemonkeying". If we Mods think it's not an accident, then we will forumban someone. In this case, though, I think it was an accident.

...and accident that occured twice because someone quoted the original error. So, I had to correct it twice. In the future, please be mindful of what you are quoting. If there's an error in the quote code, then correct it. If there's a large image being quoted, then remove the IMG tags. Thank you.
