I just popped on to reply: surely any one of us could include an unbalanced tag; only to find that your comment started a new page and made it a moot point anyway.

Well done, you mitigated the annoyance (for future posts)!

I had to enable sigs and try another browser to see what the hell was happening, (because I uses Stylish to overwrite the font) and I have to admit that my first response was an internal lol.

Looks like Buttem or a mod other than myself cleared the sig while I was looking into it.

It was me. There's a (new?) 256 char limit on sigs and simply removing the comic sans wasn't an option due no the remaining length

Is there someone that is not a mod on this forum? I'm starting to feel like a non-Nazi teenager in Berlin circa 1928.

^ yeah that's you mods

That's not even a funny hack. I probably would have thought CS/Firefox puked on themselves, not that someone had a sig hack.

I like Ronald's idea of using a symbol font with this hack.

I'm pretty sure I could have just thrown a style="display:none" and hidden everything, but that's no fun.

Yes, that would have been boring.

I'm not really sure what magical variation of quirks mode would result from an unclosed font tag and CSS3, honestly.

Also, want to find out if something like this works

Just testing here :D

...Nope, no position:fixed abuse

If you wanna play around with CS, there's threads for that. Please don't do it in threads with actual content. Either resurrect one of the old threads, or make a new one.

I'm quite content for now, but I'll keep that in mind.

CS seems to strip out the whole style attribute if you use a parenthesis in it, which is ruining my transforms.

Which I never saw because I have my profile set to not display signatures.

Actual content? Here? When did that happen?

What is Astrodings, anyway?

"Not available on Linux" apparently. Do I even have Wingdings...? Nope.

What is all this talk about astrodings*?

* see, that's why it's better to use branches instead of tags in source control. Tags, like signatures, have no history.

Beg pardon, I do normally quote the sig manually if I'm replying directly to it. I got lazy and it was my downfall.
What VCS do you use, then? I'm used to SVN where (as you may well know) a normal directory copy operation is used to implement both branches and tags, and thus they are technologically identical.

In TFS labels have no history. In git tags have no history. In CVS tags have no history. You can get the history of the files that are currently tagged, but that's a different thing.

I think you're confusing it with text-transform:uppercase. Capitalize only does the first letter(s).

I think you're confusing it with text-transform:uppercase. Capitalize only does the first letter(s).

The fact that Capitalize only does the first letter and does not handle the situation where the whole word is already in uppercase is a WTF. It's not idempotent at all.

That is a good point.

If that is the poster I am thinking about, one just sold on e-bay for nearly $100 [USD]

I doubt it. This one was just the Poster World one with Watson's ugly mug on it. Currently about $18. Still won't lose any sleep.
