Thanks for doing that mich...i appreciate it..it seems after installing IE6 sp1 i can now post but only a limited amount of text. It's weird...

For anyone who cares, what happens is that I'll go into a topic and click "post reply" then type my stuff, if it's too long after hitting the submit button it'll take me back to h2g's front page without posting the text.

WEIRD.

not sure osc is there supposed to be a text limit?

*looks for long document*

A rabbit running through the forest stumbles upon a deer rolling a joint. The rabbit says, “Don’t do that. Come running with me. It’s much more fun!” So the deer takes off with the rabbit.

They come across an elephant doing coke. “Come running with us, elephant,” says the rabbit. “You’ll feel so good!” The elephant decides to join in the fun.

The animals encounter a lion about to shoot up. Before the rabbit can say anything, the lion knocks it unconscious.

The deer screams, “Lion, what are you doing? He’s trying to help us!”

The lion answers, “The jerk makes me run around the forest like an idiot every time he takes Ecstasy!”

In a trial, a small Texas town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand -- a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me? She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind! their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost died! At this point, the judge brought the court room to silence, called both counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt."

Paddy and Mick worked together in St. John's and both were laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Paddy answered,"Panty Stitcher". I sew da elastic onto ladies cotton panties and tongs. " The clerk looked up panty stitcher on his computer and finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him $80 dollars a week employment pay.

Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, "Diesel fitter." Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick $160 dollars a week. When Paddy found out he was furious. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.

The Clerk explained "Panty Stitchers are unskilled and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour. " What skill?" yelled Paddy." I sew da elastic on da panties and tongs; Mick puts 'em over his head and says:

"Yep, diesel fitter."

Worked for me. Maybe html... Osc does your forum allow html? There's one site I go to and if you attempt entering html it will take you to the home page without adding your post...

Well by default PHPBB (this forum) disallows html, unless you enclose it in the <code></code> bbcode tags. I dunno, maybe i forgot them or something? Let's try copying mich's text and see what happens..

That seemed to work Partie -- try checking the "disable HTML in this post" box when you create a post -- let me know if that works.

ok so there's something wrong with the *nuke port of phpbb....it doesn't "block" code that's inserted in between the bbcode <code> and </code> like it's supposed to but that's cool. Now that it's figured out I guess I have to watch what kind of html help I give people Smile
