@peter, @cclarry: I think somebody is trying to mess with my mind. I found what is preventing the Reaper changelog from being posted but it makes no sense. It is not a character limit, nor is it a line limit. You are not going to believe this. If the string select is followed by from anywhere in a post, the post will fail. The only reason why I am able to post this is because I bolded the first letter of select. It is not just select, but selected, selecting, any variation of select really. Go ahead and try it. Type select in a post followed by any number of words and then type from. When that fails, try doing the same thing but bold any letter in select (but not the whole word), and see if you can submit the post. This has got to be one of the most bizarre bugs I have ever run across. I am not even sure where to start looking for a solution.

 

How in the world could that happen? I mean, in the simplest possible way — after all, my expertise is marketing, so it needs to be very, very, very simple; start with trying to explain it to a 5th grader, and then dumb it down a little (now I’ve offended anyone in the marketing profession) — can you explain how a bug like that could even happen?

I’m going to give you 1,000 credits to make fun of me (at one credit each, that means one thousand smart @ss remarks)!
