True for HTML, but these pages are generated by PHP script which is more susceptible than HTML to strange crashes. Somehow the cached script file for that thread is corrupt.

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?
