    Very strange typographical 'Poly curse

    There appears to be an odd bug that replaces the string "ely " with "++++". As exhibit A, I present dainbramaged's 1st post on this thread:

    I've seen it once or twice before as well. It's truly wierd. Any ideas?

    Just going to try it myself...

    Does this completely muck up the formatting?

    Edit: hmm - curiously no. But I have seen it before.

          Strangely, it only seems to happen to certain forumers.

            I think it's Markos' own private joke.

              Probably those with a propensity to type ++++ instead of "ely "

                Lemme try:

                "ely "

                Completely legless...

                        I think perhaps certain posters cannot spell completely, so write complet++++ to make it know that there are letters missing
                        Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

                          That much is true, but the rest is just conjecture.
