[Cerek the Barbaric]

Originally posted by Grojlach: I've never heard of a mere symbol managing to crash an entire page, but then again, I suppose it was never put to the test before. I doubt the use of that symbol caused all of this, though the possible implications if it *did* cause such an error could be rather painful, and the problem could be open to abuse.

Yes, incorrect HTML tags CAN crash an entire thread - though it is very rare. I did it in the Roleplaying forum in my long ago Octagon thread. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] My penchant for multi-colored posts finally got the best of me and I ended up leaving one tag open or typing in the wrong closing tag and it crashed the entire thread.

Fortunately, Larry was able to access the thread through his Powers of Modship and correct the problem. But since Cloudy couldn't get into the thread, it may require the combined talents of Ziroc and Choc.

See what I mean about the multi-colored posts?
