viewing job from profile removes formatting December 15, 2010 8:17 AM   Subscribe

I've just posted my availability in Jobs and it seems that when I go to view the ad from my profile, the formatting of my post seems to have disappeared.

Have tried this on Safari and Firefox, and I'm running Snow Leopard.

Also, when one tries to search Jobs whilst logged out, it tries to get you to log in. This, however, could be a feature.

I probably should have put a TLDR on my jobs posting! What a wall of text!

Buzzwords are so '00s, wall-of-text is the new signature of respectability in the '10s.

By The Grace of God, I think it's a technical equivalent of this posted to MetaTalk a couple of days ago. Just my guess though.

Ah, dear. Sorry! Might as well close this up then?

Yeah, I think we just hadn't accounted for the need to interpolate line breaks on the newer "available for jobification" feature in the profile view. pb says he'll fix it in a bit; I'll let him have the honor of closing this up when the time comes.

Until then . . . chaos reigns?

If I fix it can I close this up? I've been wanting to try Matt's Gawker password.

Jobs doesn't have a "more inside" section, it only has a single text field for everything. On the front page of Jobs, category pages, tag pages, etc. we just show the post title, and we should have been doing the same thing on user activity pages. I just changed that so we should be set.

Perfect! Thanks.

Wait! Everyone's gone. Did BTGOG get the job? I need closure!
