Article kinda fucked up
TappedOut forum

I jsut read spooty's most recent article and saw that the comments were slightly fucked up. Ther is now no border between the post and the comments and they all have the same background.
Here's a link to the offending page.
The issue appears to be only on that page and doesn't look like someone forgot to close a tag. Also, just in case it matters, I am using firefox.
Calling on yeaGO for help.

I think that tappedout is just trying a new article layout.

It's the background formatting. The gradient continues throughout instead of turning into the textured bit.

That's not a new article layout. That's Spootyone forgetting that he left his G3 table in with the opening <div> and <table> tags and no closing tags.
Fixed. Careful about that stuff, Spooty.

THATS WHAT IT WAS.
I was trying to figure out if that was me or not and i couldnt seem to find the problem. I had begun to think a comment had done it. Thanks Epoch. And of course Ill be more careful of that in the future.

You can tell whether it's a comment or not by the way the page is formatting. If all the comments are trapped in the formatting box that's normally reserved for the original post, then you have something keeping the original post open.
And having to find errors like this is one of the reasons I switched out of the CompSci major when I was in university. Try parsing your code for a single missing semicolon at three in the morning and with a compiler that doesn't highlight your tags for you. I'm not about that life.

Also, it may be wise to develop a template with all the appropriate tags and save it in Notepad or something (some basic word processor that doesn't tack on a bunch of its own syntax (i.e. not MS Word)) so you can reuse it safely.

I actually use notepad++ but Im still getting the hang of it all. Im a biology major - not a comp one lol. So I make some rudimentary mistakes still. I use a template and then make edits when necessary, and I guess i messed up when switching things around.

Certainly a good thing I dashed Cognitive Psychology and went to Sexology. Never could stand that stuff in ComSci
