Re^4: Bidirectional lookup algorithm? (poor XS solution)

I'm told (by the PMDevs) that it is due to the browser I use -- Opera -- but the fact that it never happens on any other site I use makes me think it is more to do with PM than Opera; but its always easier to blame someone else's tools than fix your own code.

:) do you got any js in your free nodelet?

I've been using perlmonks since 2001 and this appending of random snippets hasn't happened to me, but then I don't use opera :/

:) do you got any js in your free nodelet? What's a "free nodelet"? :) Seems I do have one, and there was some js there; though it only seemed to be loading some 3rd party js; not actually executing it. (Not sure how, why or when it got there.) But in any case, I don't have the free nodelet enable either on the frontpage or anywhere else, so it seems unlikely that is the cause. I have seen the effect -- random crap at the end of the post -- on 2 or 3 nodes by other people, but I don't remember who, or which nodes. But they might well have also been Opera users. It really is weird, in that it has persisted across several new versions of Opera -- which if it is an Opera bug, you'd think it would have been caught and dealt with by now -- and has never occurred anywhere else than this site. (Notice the bar 'li' after my sig. I didn't type it, it was there as soon as the "Comment on" TEXTAREA was displayed. And it isn't in my template. (Update: And now I've hit "Create" and "update" once, its been joined by the link test from my footer.) (Update again: And after hitting "update" to add the line above, its been joined by the text: 'free nodelet') With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
