Topic: Seeing post when posting (Page 1 of 1)

Is everyone else seeing the page data unformatted on the intermediary page when posting? ie. the post page that then forwards you back to the post page.

It seemed to start a couple of days/weeks ago.

Yes

Ditto.

testing...

hm... describe the problem in more details, please.

Is the secondary page simply without stylesheet (white color et all),
or do you mean you see your post kind of 'dumped' into the page?

Personally, I see neither ;-).

so long,

Haven't seen this myself.

Haven't that either.

The CSS is in place, you see the data just dumped on the page, lot's of odd characters and all. I can't get a screen shot right now, but if nobody else has by the time I get home from work, I'll give it a try.

I have been seeing it. It looks like the "wrapper" with all the lines, etc replaced by ASCII characters, with the actual post information (and posters, etc) in among the gibberish.

Then it "snaps back" to how it is supposed to look.

It's like the browser has only read part of the css, because the colors are all correct, the text is not formatted and the page is all jumbled together. Then after a few seconds (maye fiften or twenty) it all snaps into place and the page looks normal.

For the record - I use Mozilla at work, and Firefox at home. I see it both places. Haven't tried with IE.

test

edit: Ah, even though I didn't see it (IE here), it's in the source code.

It's commented out with HTML comments. I notice the first thing in the screen shot is "Insane since," whereas the weird part of the source code looks like:

<!-- update grail_data set date=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, rawtext='a:16:{i:0;a:6:{s:10:\"postername\";s:10:\"bitdamaged\";s:8:\"posterid\";i:52;s:10:\"posterinfo\";s:87:\"Rank%%5,50<p>From: 100101010011 &lt;-- right about here<br />Insane since:...

I think Firefox is correctly interpreting this as a single tag that looks like:

<!-- commented stuff here -- invalid stuff here >Insane since:...

Because HTML comments actually end at the first occurance of "--".

So there you go.

test.
Doh, I just had the problem. I haven't had ( or noticed ) it before.

all right. I removed that debugging statement. You shouldn't see it anymore.

Invalid comment nesting... narf.
But then explain to me why it disappeared once the whole body was loaded?
