What's with the italics?

March 1, 2007 9:20 PM

Why is all of MetaFilter in italics all of a sudden? The first two posts on the page are fine, but then everything afterwards is in italics for me, even the posts from yesterday that weren't in italics earlier this morning... I've had a few drinks tonight, but not that many drinks...

You must be drunk, because you didn't realize that 5 minutes before you posted this, cosmicbandito explained why it was happening.

Fixed. There was an unclosed <em> tag in the 'URL description' field of this post. I think the text pasted therein was too long and got truncated, including the closing em tag.

teehee, and I just realized by clicking back through the "older" link on this page that the last two metatalk threads (and my own) aren't showing up on the metatalk front page. And the last one pointed out the same problem I'm having... ah well...
