    Just got spurious data in place of my list of threads in my User CP.

    Using Chrome on a Win XP machine.

    Only happened once so far but just letting you know.

    Took a screen shot in case it would help.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=119106&d=1278326178

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    That happens sometimes when your browser barfs on some content we give it. What you're seeing there is some compressed data which your browser chose to interpret as text. There's a few bugs in vBulletin/our code which can trigger this behaviour, but they're pretty hard to reproduce and chase down.

    If you can reproduce it reliably, I'd love to hear details. If it's sporadic, there's not a whole lot I can do to fix it.

    Cheers Conor.

    I'll keep an eye on what I'm doing in case it comes back. Only happened once so far.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
