57 : blurb = '#blurbs#'

This also occurs on ie 5 and on two separate computers. Thanks!

Have you tried again since? I had a similar error come up while making a comment earlier. Figured Matt was messing with something in the back, and I happened to hit the button at just the wrong moment and made the server puke.

Actually, I got the same error yesterday when I tried adding my zip code to my profile. I figured Matt was twiddling, so I didn't bother to mention it. However, I just tried to do it again, and got the same error message.

hmm. I'll try and fix it soon. I was adding a user check to the submission page, and got it working on my account.

Hey, me too!

(I was also quite pleased to see that I'm not the only person who uses the word "blurb" in code ...)
