I think I broke this thread with a malformed tag. Please hope me?

We need some HTML-fixing in this question, please.

Sidebar URL error.

SPrintF — Sun, 02 Apr 2006 20:32:33 -0800

Oddly, the sideblog link to the "realistic swordfighting" thread takes me to something called www.marginalia.org. Surely, this is unintentional.

Atom/RSS parse Error

I think I broke Townes.

A malformed anchor tag breaks the preview page.

odinsdream — Mon, 11 Apr 2005 12:30:17 -0800

Posting with a malformed anchor tag makes a mess of the preview page, and comment text is gone when you hit Back to fix it. [more details inside]

I messed up some html with a single quote.

taumeson — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 20:05:20 -0800

I inserted a single quote in a post on accident and the MeFi code that normally would be the rest of the page (i.e. all the buttons and such) showed up in my preview textbox.

Error in the 'posted by' links.

The write-up author's homepage link is broken.

Coldfusion error

riffola — Thu, 18 Dec 2003 17:53:47 -0800

The old coffee thread doesn't load. It spouts a ColdFusion error due to a fake <corporatewhore> tag used by KevinSkomsvold.

ColdFusion error in an old thread.

I get a ColdFusion error message when viewing this thread.

Weird DoubleFelix error.

crunchland — Mon, 07 Apr 2003 10:49:24 -0800

What's DoubleFelix, and why do I get prompted to log in to it? Matteo directed us all to look at someone's posting record, but when I did, I was prompted to log in...? Did I miss a memo?

HTML shortcut buttons are nonfunctional

scody — Thu, 13 Feb 2003 15:01:27 -0800

Since yesterday, I've been unable to use the shortcut to post links in threads. The shortcut window pops up as usual, I paste in the URL, and hit OK. Then the window closes, but without having inserted any code into the text. (I'm using the same ol' IE5 as usual.)

One of my links is messed up.

mediareport — Wed, 01 Jan 2003 12:38:56 -0800

The last link in this thread was fine on preview but not after I posted.

Broken html messing up the place.

geoff. — Sun, 25 Nov 2001 14:26:32 -0800

It appears the code can be broken.

Bug in the search results.

machaus — Tue, 04 Sep 2001 19:19:53 -0800

Is it just me, or are the "Go to the detail view for this result" links on search results not scrolling to the anchor points?

Error with the MeFi scholarship link in Opera.

holloway — Mon, 16 Apr 2001 00:13:33 -0800

Opera5 shows the "MetaFilter college scholarship" as an off yellow link but it's not clickable. After a quick glance at the HTML it seems Opera doesn't like the negative value, "margin-top:-20px". It looks like there's an unclosed DIV tag around that area too, well, maybe.
