This is a weird bug. I have no problem - so far - editing my other posts.

[MarkG]

perhaps there was a problem with the loading of the page

i got no such thing when i tried to edit that post

[Urban Ranger]

Markos,

Still there. I am using Moz 0.7 so that might be caused by some stange interactions, though I don't have any real problems with other posts.

gee...

once, a page didn't load well...

Bug on Apolyton?! *jaw drops*

It just looks like a misload, it happens from time to time. I think there are so few bugs around this place it is a testimony to perseverence and hard work of the mods. Although I still agree with picking out bugs if they are seen, not in a smug way but in a helpful way...

Hi Markos,

I did it again. Here is the post.

It looks like that once I messed up the &lt;font&gt; tag in the quote section, I can't get back to edit it with Moz 0.7.

[phoenixcager]

It looks ok in IE5, except for the missing '>' after '< /font'.

It looks fine in Netscape 4.73 too.

I don't know if this is a bug in UBB, a bug in Mozilla 0.7, or is caused by some weird interaction between the two.

By the way, Mozilla 0.7 defaults to HTTP 1.1 if that helps any...
