You made a big mistake in returning, you should have known it was over
back in those icy wastes, cold like your remorseless heart!
I shall have my men deal with you once and for all, Mr Bond.

Hmm, I'm posting this now with Firefox 1.0.6 and it seems fine, can you post some screenshots or something?

This is just a test
Edit: I can't seem to be able to reproduce the bug for some reason...
I'll try to find a post with some of that html carbage in the end.

The only bug I notice that is really annoying is when editing a post a quote gets all messed up, because the bbcode isn't stored in the database, but the html it gets translated to. (That's how it looks in any case)
The only other thing is when using the spell checker, it eats characters like '+', which it should just skip over. It changes other characters in the ascii set, like ?, to unicode (%uFFFD, kind of stuff)
Those are really the only things I've noticed.
And welcome back, for short or long term.

I've noticed when editing posts with [ quote] tags, they get mauled and I have to redo them. Using Opera 9.0, dunno if it affects other browsers.

The java textbox has been broken Fx 1.5.x.x (and is broken in 2.0 as well)
The text is black and hence unreadable and also contains a couple of lines of HTML.
Here is a screenshot, I have highlighted the text so you can see what I mean:
Oh and Hi!

Might I suggest to people to use a browser that actually works? IE7 perhaps- its pretty much firefox with an IE logo slapped on it.

Probably the most important change you can make to this site (that noones mentioned yet) would be to give someone else leprosy, so when your leperous hands fall off, someone else can maintain the site.
Good to see you back Lep
