P.S. Can anyone tell me why the first post in this thread is appearing all in bold face?

It looks normal to me.

[Niles Caulder]

It appears as all bold to me, too.  How peculiar.

[KEmperor]

I have no idea.  It looks properly coded to me.

The difference in appearance probly depends upon which browser you use, but I noticed this in looking at the code for the first post:

Code:

[b][move]In Dave We Trust[/b][/move]

If that were changed so as to be properly nested:

Code:

[move][b]In Dave We Trust[/b][/move]

it would probably fix it.

Yes, I just realized that.  I switched to IE and it did appear all bold.

Glory now, Dippers all!

Thanks, Ernest.  Changing the "move" bracket seems to have fixed the problem.

Whats weird about this is, I keep the ballot post saved in a Word file.  I copied what was posted here from the last election (the Presidential election) which did not have this problem.  (That thread is still stickied....)

That thread isn't quite the same.
Instead of:

Code:

[b][move]In Dave We Trust[/b][/move]

The General election thread has

Code:

[move][b]In Dave We Trust[/move][/b]

It looks like that IE is treating the [ move ] as a block such that any formatting that is inside of it doesn't affect what is outside of it. hence giving different results depending upon whether only the [ b ] or the [ /b ] was inside.  Strangely, Mozilla interprets what you meant and displasy it accordingly.  Strangely, I say because usually Mozilla tends to be a bit more hard-assed about such stuff than IE, altho given the broken nesting, relying on any particular behavior is tricky.

Well done Siege!

Although now that he's a Senator and not the Governor anymore, we can't say that the Northeast is under siege.
