tag nesting issue.

Do broken threads also cause errors editing posts? Because trying to edit the OP, I get an image size cannot be determined error no matter what edit I make (even just adding text), but it submits fine if I don't actually make *any* edits.

I've fixed the tags. Not sure what the deal is with that other error.

There was a formatting error with the URL tag. Not sure what the intent was, but I fixed the formatting.

Something weird happened towards this part of my thread: viewtopic.php?p=34245758#p34245758

Misnested tags, as usual.

Misnested tags. Your tags were

Code: Select all: [spoiler][box]...[/spoiler][/box]

when they need to be

Code: Select all: [spoiler][box]...[/box][/spoiler]

In the future, please look over your code for these sort of mistakes. In my experience, the vast majority of these sort of issues are 'caused simply by people closing their tags in the wrong order - something that is easily fixed if they go and review their code.

The mistake was actually in a quoted post. You might want to fix the original too before someone quotes it again and breaks the thread all over.

Thanks for the report

I think your warning broke the thread in turn. Some mis-nested quotes, I think, but I can't single it out.

(Sorry if I spammed Moderation; I couldn't find the Broken Thread Megathread).

Thread broken in Jakker's Addressed post. Sorry Jakker! I couldn't find the Megathread until now.

Starting on this post, everything expanded left & an IC post extending beyond the NationStates post box.

Edit: I think the problem is an excess [/box] where a [/quote] should be.

by **Kyrusia** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:28 pm

...Should be fine now.

Edit: Ugh. They repeat this error. Fixing.

Edit 2: I think that's all of them.

Misnested quote/spoiler tags in these two posts.

...What in the name of all that is holy... All right. Give me a few minutes.

Edit: That was caused by one oddly nested closing-spoiler tag. Fixed now.

Edit 2: Now that I think about it, I feel like I should have immortalized that thread somewhere. That is how broken that post was. It was kind of beautiful, in a way.
