in reply to Funny html rendering after recent PM changes

I've encountered that too, but it's usually a case of somebody goes and kicks the server and the next time I come back, the problem is gone.

And I think I noticed it happening more than 3 weeks ago, but like I said, it goes away, so why worry about it too much?

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

    No, we don't kick the server. An editor fixes the node that is improperly formatted (usually by replacing PRE tags with CODE tags).

      I didn't see any particular pattern. Certainly nothing like Mr. Muskrat's example which I think I would have recognized as the problem. But the PRE tags make sense. (as I just demonstrated to myself when I tried to include <PRE> in this message without escaping it). Any text just over the "border" of a frame the size of my browser window would force it to stretch and resuire a right scroll. Thanks tye for the explaination. Now if we can just get everyone to preview, editor intervention won't be necessary.
