I posted a < > thing on a thread, but it posted as a blank post.

Ooh this happened to me earlier. I made a comment at the end of my post in < > marks and it disappeared! But then I refreshed the page a few times and it came back.

And now I've forgotten how to do a blank post so am going to try.

Am I right in thinking all these things like dodgy italics and missing are only happening on mobile, not on the desktop version?

This reminds me of a story called 'Strange Bumps' by Arnold Lobel. Except the bumps are sideways.

Hi, Yes I'm tech as in original tech from the year 2000 (spooky music.) I was away for a couple of years but I've been back at MN for a few years now. I still live in the US though so I'm more often around in the evening UK time...

NorbertDentressangle · 15/12/2013 20:20

Tech - wow, you're the tech that's been around forever (well almost) aren't you!? In the olden days when you were the only tech?

Did you disappear for a while and then come back again as I'm sure I haven't seen you for years?

(BTW I'm not a mad stalker. I've just been around for a fair few years myself under various names)

..and now it's back again, it's well odd innit?

Pull · 15/12/2013 20:18

Well thanks Usual that's solved that mystery for me, I thought I was losing the plot!
I put something in CWB on a post and it was fine but when I looked at it again half of it was gone and what was left made no sense!

Ah OK, so can you explain what's happening - are whole posts apparently missing or are they there but blank? And is it consistent - or do they come back?

Has anyone got an example of a thread that's coming up in italics by the way? Ta.

Hi, On the app things between < and > can in some circumstances disappear and show up as nothing. It's been that way always. I think that's probably what you are seeing. It's on the list of things to fix.

RubyGoat · 15/12/2013 08:07

Some MNers saw their posts disappear
And started a thread to bend the Tech's ear
Tech was defeated, and wailed
"How are they deleted"!?
It's ok. Just get a big glass of gin cup of Brew dear.
