Nope, that - at the time - was post 9.    I have made a couple posts since then.  (This is post 12)

(Let's test... 1.01 2.02)

Something else odd is the spacing on periods.    I'm new to the forum so I may have missed a thread, but it seems to me that the boards are adding extra spaces after a period.    This post may even be an example. 

EDIT:  Aha, found it. . .  it seems to be an anti-spam feature in place, and until you have 10 posts you get the spacing issue.   This kinda sucks, because I started posting my story right away and it's been driving me nuts with the spacing issues.   I'll just have to find a way to get to 10 posts - legitimately - and then proceed from there.   

MarcAFK, you may have hit on something!  I was able to rescue one post by doing the italics trick. 

I nominate you for ... something really cool. 

Try putting all instances of from or like into italics.....

FYI I just got the 404 error for the first time.  It was a fairly long post, but one that I had previously posted in precisely the same form before the forum issues with no problem. 

So -- bizarre world continues. 

Actually I've been getting weird graphics problems with this forum lately, I had chalked it down to my slow connection speeds, but it's very unusual...

Also sometimes images load as a pink square with random pink lines on it....

That is bizarre. The only time I've seen anything remotely similar is when the video drivers need a serious update, or the card is about to implode.

Ok, I wanted to have a quote in the above post, but it would bug out yet again. Same when I instead tried to describe that something was blocking again.

Let's see how this fares in a new post:

Have people seen the failure with freshly-typed text (i.e. no copy-pasting or quoting)?  If not, then my bet would be on a "hidden" (i.e. one that doesn't print in the GUI) character embedded in the corrupt block that's screwing things up....

If so, then "Never mind, ...."

No, I can pretty much disprove that, because when it came to figuring out where exactly the error in a given text was, I only copied up to the error producing sentence and then went word by word. Naturally, this is more easy to do by typing anew instead of copying, so this error indeed comes up every time you fresh type the very same constellation that lead to the error.


// Well, it worked. So it really is just the combination of signs in some way. The part here was causing a problem, but separated it works fine again.
