I have an issue viewing the Cheaters thread when using IE7. Specifically I cannot see any reply beyond half of reply #63. With FF (FF2 actually) I can see the entire thread and nothing appears unusual about reply #63 but something in it is messing with IE7.
It was the Word junk HTML again. Edited it out, should be happy now.
However leaving this as a site issue (albeit not a particularly pressing one) is not unreasonable. I would think that eventually there should be some kind of filter to protect against this.
The problem is allowing HTML in the beginning. It IS a nice feature if users know how to handle it, but it can cause (as seen) a lot of problems as well. I'm not sure how it can be filtered, though. If HTML in itself is supposed to stay, the filter would have to work out what part is 'junk' and what isn't.
The problem is only more complicated because of different browsers interpretation of HTML (probably more so if the original code comes from MS Word).
Well, potentially harmful HTML is already stripped from posts. I've mentioned this particular bit about Word's junk comments to Andrew, and he said it's on his list to look at.
It's not an issue in any browser other than IE because only IE supports conditional comments--to every other browser they're just regular comments and are completely ignored. Still, kinda funny that a Microsoft browser can't handle their own special HTML.
