Tried evey hint gleaned from these posts and STILL the window in Geneology thread in Miscellany is w--i--d--e, as is page one in this thread.
It seems the problem popped up after the shutdown for maintenance on the ISP from 5 to 7 p.m. last Saturday.
Coincidence? I wonder !!??!! Gremlins maybe?
Should send a note to Webmaster? Someone with some literacy in computers perhaps? (That lets me out! Whew)
wow

>Setting preferences (temporarily!) to 1 post/page reveals that the problem is in fact bridget96's post with the long purple quote.
maybe so, but I had suspected that as well and pasted the "purple quote" into another post with no problem....

>maybe so, but I had suspected that as well and pasted the "purple quote" into another post with no problem....Did you put ["pre"] and ["/pre"] markup around it as I
have done here, and as I suspect bridget did in her offending
(as distinct from offensive) post? I think that the ["pre"] and ["/pre"] cause the same behaviour as the ["url"] and ["/url"] that we have noted with long links.
What does this post do to the display?
[edit-in later] Having established that this is indeed the problem, I've broken the red bit into shorter lines.

*FINE*. First my signature line, now my inept attempts to follow *TSUWM*'s advice on making neat-o fonts.... i don't want to play with you guys anymore.

There, there, Bridget... looks like you managed to fix the fancy font thang before you ran off to play with the proles.

Sure now, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all, but for you
You're the momemtary star of the thread-- and just because we happen,
for the moment,
to find your face a fine target for our cream pies, you're going to run away crying?
a fine irish name you're sporting, and not a bit of irish in ya? what a shame!
Why its a grand thing! sure any attention paid is a compliment!
