Someone else can delete mine if they wish to, I won't mind. But I'm too damn lazy to do it myself :( Sorry

It took me less than five minutes and I'm on a dial-up connection.

Lazy perhaps, but he was also the worst offender  ;)

... and the first one with equipment sensitive enough to recognise the danger. Kept going or not, I don't know, yet. I haven't looked back to determine if any name-calling is due, at this point.

Either way, I invite others to set the table. I am not really a decorator.

I still doubt that that quote quote broke the database. The breaking I referred to was a rendering issue, purely cosmetic.

Yes, the render you grew was cosmetic, but what caused it to grow?


We don't know yet the real cause of the crashes, do we?

Is that more understandable after the edit?

The second sentence makes more sense, yes. But I don't understand "that you (meaning me) grew"

Being slightly colorful, nothing more.

It "grew"  every time someone quoted. Your equipment showed the anomalous error first, if I recall.

Not my equipment, a plug-in for my browser which resizes the window to certain commonly used screen resolutions.

AH!

That's kind of cool.

A Vista specific add-on?

I set up a large monitor at work with a vertical display for surfing and the firmware re-sizes the page to fit. It's a twenty eight inch, 16x9 display monitor turned on its side to be a vertical.

You can read the Wall Street Journal (for instance) from a good distance, with no scrolling necessary. Includes a remote. :D

If you consider what the quotes actually are, you might reconsider. And the quotes themselves won't break anything, but their handling during optimization might.

The only way I'll find out for sure is to do an optimization *after* the nested quotes are gone. If the db doesn't crash, then I'm probably right.

I'm pretty sure I didn't participate in that thread.
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.
