Hi!

I just saw a broken table in the in-game forum. I copied some stats from an aircraft to the post, and it copied the table with it (the table from the 'view aircraft' page).

The reply is now situated below the aircraft stats instead of beneath the original post. I suppose there is something wrong with the table coding?

The affected post:

Diggin' up old topics :lol:

Well, it seems like it isn't even possible to edit the post, the page just freezes (in Chrome), and in Opera the text-box is just plain blank.

That was a minefield. Crashed my chrome atleast 4 times trying to investigate the problem. It seemed to have difficulty sending off a message to the ad server due to the table being incorrectly structured. Really there should be no user generated HTML allowed into the message field but that apparently will disrupt the formatting software we use there too. I'll have to find a way to stop users from entering HTML but allowing the formatting piece to do its work.

The issue has been fixed in the post for now though.

I just found a similar bug. In post 29 and 39, the tables mix in a weird way. And post 21 has no text. I'm sure there were text in those posts before.

Quite bizzare. I've straightened them out. Are you by any chance copying and pasting stuff from the main game? Like copying some aircraft details? It may be pulling the formatting with it and thats causing the issue.

No, not this time, if I remember correctly. Is it possible to get the entries back?

There was actually nothing saved in there from what I can see.

Wait a second... The date stamp says it was posted on November 29th. I'm quite sure I haven't posted anything at all in a week or so in that world. This is getting really strange... Not even about the N262, I believe that's further back in time.

The database tool I'm using is updating the date stamps as I update the records for some strange reason.
