This one really bugs me and I wondered if it just got overlooked, or if no one really knows.

or possibly it doesn't bother anyone else..

Can someone with experience explain to a mere stranger why sometimes when I open a Post all that appears is a string of numbers, percent signs and a few letters? No matter how many times I try I can't open the Post. Am I committing a sin of omission or commission to be thus punished?

Help (frustrated).

If you are working on a PC which is connected to a network, the proxy server which is connecting you to the Internet may not be set to handle large quantities of text data (i.e. html) correctly. It renders what it can and texts the rest. I'm not a network geek, so I can't give you the technical details.

I just went to the shorter link site, and managed to shorten the link I had in the Greek/Latin thread in Q & A, but the screen is still wide.

>but the screen is still wide.

and that would seem to be due to ASp's preformatted text.
