Nothing weird happened in my post! But the entire thread ended up misaligned. That is weird!

Is there another thread where this has happened?
 
Umm, what have you done?

I thought it was a screenshot until I realized you could click on stuff.

Way to go Tyler, you broke PF, congratulations... from the minds of innocents, a high school student as well.

Rhody...

P.S. Will a mentor have a look at the raw html and get back to Greg with this one ?

Greg is away at the moment, but Mentors are aware of the problem.

Looks like this is what he did:

[noparse]
stuff
[/noparse]

(I'm using noparse tags so that these tags don't do anything in this post). Mentors should be able to see exactly what he did by clicking "edit" instead of "quote".
 
Yes, it is incorrectly nested tex tag that creates problems.

I don't have access to the code, that requires either Greg or Chroot.

I'm reminded of a really old joke...

Patient: Doc, it hurts when I do *this*.

Doctor: Well, then don't do that.​
