Uh, I think I broke something...

.. when I tried to post a reply in that thread.

Is the bottom of the page (ie., comment box) also borked for everyone else?

Totally borked! The post comment button takes you to IMDB :P

Looks like an unmatched anchor tag (or its closing cousin) in your comment got matched by the html tidier and everything after was thrown out of whack.

Nice work!

Good job porpoise!

Way to go Porpoise! I finally thought of an answer to contribute. Now the world will never know.

Phew. I thought it was only me. I don't get a comment box either, have tried Safari 2.0.3, Camino 1.0.1, and Firefox 1.5.

Metafilter is so easily breakable.

OK I figured out how you did it. Anyone who wants to bork any Metafilter thread can paypal me $10 and I'll show you how.

Wow, that is MAD busted, yo.

I can talk like that 'cause I'm so street...

I see it - when you started your anchor tag for the link to The Last Seduction (the <a href= part), you put in a single quote (') instead of the double quote (") after the = sign, so your link target wasn't closed until another single-quote character after the comment box. Good Jorb!

It's not "broken". It's functionally challenged.

On preview: ignore what I just wrote and continue to send your cash to TimeFactor. DO IT NOW!

Thanks hangashore! And everyone else, ignore his instructions. He's left out an important detail. It's tricky. If you do it wrong EVENTUALLY YOU'LL DIE! So never trust anything except the proven original Bork-A-Thread. Only $10 while supplies last.
