    Probably in the middle of the word, you inserted HTML code or something that would normally be displayed, but somehow got it to be blank?

    All I know is that you have altered "Banned" in some way, as SF won't allow it to be printed in whole.

    You are almost dead-on with the HTML bit. But trust me, it is indeed displaying — technically.

    Hmmm.. viewing the source code tells me nothing.​ Pasting it in notepad reveales a box. As for the ascii code, I don't know.

    Ha.. there. Which character did you use? I used it to create that blank message.

    The source code does tell you. I just looked.

    In Firefox, no. In IE, I can clearly see the box between Ban and ned. Also in the previous post I can see all the boxes.

    Firefox code: The code says <div class="smallfont">Banned (2,875 posts)</div>.
    IE code: <div class="smallfont">Ban& #8203;ned (2,875 posts)</div> (space added so it will display)

    In Firefox, yes. I use Firefox.

    I can't. And I checked before and after I installed the IE7 beta.

    For me, the character displays properly in both browsers, and its code shows up in the source code under both browsers.

    It sounds like you just suck. You use Windows XP, right? Which service pack is it? And what versions of each browser do you have?

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

    Ie is 6.0.something

    Umm.. Windows XP x64 edition.

    Here is a screenshot to prove it: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/absane/proof.png

    The top is Firefox.. the bottom is IE.

    Mine says "Windows NT 5.1". We're using almost identical Firefoxes. But the difference between 5.1 and 5.2 couldn't be it.

    This seems consistent. I didn't check precisely what my version was before I downloaded IE7, but it was definitely IE6.

    Mine is XP Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 2. I don't know what you're talking about when you say "x64"...

    Yup. You suck.

    x64 is the 64-bit version of Windows XP. You are running the 32-bit.

    Why do you have the 64-bit version? Other than the bits, how is it different from mine? And is that why your Firefox says "5.2"?

    At any rate, you still suck.

    Windows NT 5.2 (Windows 2003) is a fancy way of saying Windows XP x64.

    I have it because I wanted to take advantage of my 64-bit processor. x64 has some problems with 32 bit drivers and I cannot find good support for them, so I may go back to 32-bit windows until Vista comes out.

    Basically if I had to, I could calculate bigger numbers than you could. You suck.

    Oh yeah, and the ability to calculate bigger numbers is oh-so-important in one's everyday life.

    Video games? Video files? Faster encryption/dycrption (RSS for example)? I am sure you can tell the calculation differences between a 486 and a Pentium 4?

    None of which I ever do.

    Maybe, but I don't need anything more than what I got.
