Ooookay... Vanishing bits of posts?

When you put something in the triangle brackets ( < / >), the word or words in it disappear.

You type , or , and the brackets remain but the word vanishes?!

I am on the App if that makes a difference? Can others see them and not me? I know Tech has been doing a bit of work on links, but nothing has been said about this?

See, my sighs disappeared?!

I've also had an italics fail today. Wonder if bolting still works properly?

testing, testing

You'll never know.....

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 12:44

BolDing, obviously, not bolting, and that still works, italics are iffy, and the App doesn't like me using the smileys that aren't on the little bar.

I tried Thanks earlier, and it wasn't showing.

Your sighs are still there.

You've typed pointy brackets, sigh, then pointy brackets doubles first then singles.

I'll type it and you see if you can see it...

, or

ExitPursuedByABear · 14/06/2012 12:50

I can see it - must be your app.

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 12:52

I can't see it, and I can't see it when others write in 'creepy brackets' either. Single creepy brackets and the whole thing disappears, double creepy brackets and all that's left is a single pair?!

I only reinstalled MN yesterday as it got stuck when loading again.

that post isn't going to make a lot of sense to you then!

Cooo-eeeee Tech, my love, we've got an interesting one for youuuuu!

IamtheZombie · 14/06/2012 12:55

Strangely enough, Zombie had this on another site she uses. She asked the site owner about it and his reply was:

We usually have to zap/encode these to stop people (Spammers, viruses) trying to insert HTML into the system.

Perhaps the app is more vulnerable to such things?

Right off to have fun with invisible posts and piss of tech GrinGrinGrinGrin

ohchristFENTON · 14/06/2012 12:57

scottishmummy's going to love this glitch.

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 14/06/2012 12:57

You can't read my cunt flaps on the app how thrilling

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 13:08

Cunt flaps?! How would you read cunt flaps then?! Grin

(And no, I can't read your cunt flaps)

Had a woo one a minute ago - an education thread from my threads I'm on. When I went to read it, the whole thread, names and all, we're in italics. Posted, and the thread went back to normal?!

MN goes Woo today, I think!

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 13:09

Yes, the inverse creepy brackets does 'fix' it, I can see it when they are inversed?!

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 13:17

Where's Tech? Lunch break's over! Grin

(probably having a siesta after posting in the other thread before 5am this morning...)

OP posts:
IamtheZombie · 14/06/2012 13:20

Tech is probably having breakfast. It's only 8.20 am in his shed.

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 13:24

He posted on the other thread that he was in London today! So this lunchtime. Maybe the jet lag has got him?!

Hi, We'll have a look at this. It's another side effect of trying to support the two versions of the app at the same time. Ooh me head.

Tech · 14/06/2012 14:48

Hi all, I think these should be displaying correctly now.

CouthyMow · 14/06/2012 15:48

Cheers! Odd side effects - maybe MN had double vision through running the two Apps? Grin
