Tonight's code push is now complete! As always, please report any issues here.

(We're particularly interested in issues with HTTPS browsing; we're getting closer to ironing out all the bugs, but we know it's still not perfect.)

EDIT: If you're not getting the inline reply form -- if you're getting redirected to another page to comment -- please clear your cache and then restart your browser.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're coming to report an entry in your journal not displaying properly, and there's a <table> in the entry (or you're reporting a problem with your journal displaying properly and there's an entry with a <table> somewhere visible on the page): please check the entry's source and make sure the HTML of the table is constructed properly. We've made a change to our HTML cleaner to be more strict about missing tags and tags that were closed in a different order than they were opened. Most of the display problems people have reported have been because a table in an entry was missing closing </td>/</tr>tags!

I would rather be unconscious, honestly, it would be better than being 70% fine and 30% cognitively impaired and not necessarily being able to tell which part is the 30%. :P I'm just really freaking slow right now. Doesn't help I was supposed to go to sleep a few hours back but the pain's keeping me awake.

Anyway, yeah, people are going to have to be a lot more vigilant about making sure that a) all the tags you open get a corresponding closing tag b) that are closed in the (reverse) order they were opened. Like, if you have a <center<table><tr><td>, you need to close them in the exact order of </td></tr></table></center>. Previously we were more lenient about that and the HTML cleaner would try to detect mismatched tags and close them as necessary, but a few display bugs and pagebreaking tricks were exploiting that, so we had to tighten up the leeway. I know people got used to the cleaner being very permissive about what it would accept without breaking the view, so it'll be a bit of an adjustment, but the change was necessary.

I admit I'm a lazy coder, hold overs from when everything worked. Thank you for the proper coding kick in the butt! ALSO thank you for noting that tags have to be closed in reverse order because that would for sure have tripped me up.

Try and get some unconscious time as soon as you're able ♥
