Has anyone else noticed that all formatting in the Blue Sun room seems to have disappeared? Entries are displaying with all html tags visible, and no line breaks.

Is this just me, or is this happening across users?

Happening for me, too. No doubt because the BSR came under a virus attack and Haken had to go in to fix it. I'm sure it'll be back up and running properly before too long.

It's not just you. I suspect it's related to the big kerfluie that had the whole site down earlier. Give it a few hours and hopefully Haken'll get it sorted.

I'm working on it. Had to temporarity block some codes to stop a script from running.

That's fine. Just didn't know if this was another piece of muschief coming from outside.

We all appreciate the time and effort you put into this site Haken. You're truly a big damn hero.

It's ironic that this latest attack came from China. I suppose we mattered enough as a community for them to warrant an attack.

Whatever the script was wasn't damaging to unprotected systems, I hope?

I'm not knowledgeable about such things. I'm just grateful my virus protection caught it.

I'm still getting the virus warning when I click the 'show me more fanfics' link in the blue sun room.

Hey, the HTML formatting isn't working on my latest post. Just curious if I'm doing something wrong...

I'm with you Mal4Prez. Unfortunately, I do a lot of re-formatting, since my fics are in the form of screenplays. I don't like the standard new-paragraph indenting I've been forced to use on my newest entries.

Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon. Stupid virus-spammers.

Guys, ugly fics make me cry! I can't LOOK at them. I have to scroll really really quickly to read my comments.

Yes, I'm that sad.

May wait for it to be sorted before posting JS sequel.

Notice how italics work though, weird.

Maybe the evil virus spammers haven't figured out how to mess with that...

Oh, dang. I just gave them a challenge! :(

Fool!

If anything goes wrong with the italics (clearly a matter of worldwide importance,) I know who I'm blaming.

What's up with your hiatus, get posting!!

The filtering I added to handle the virus fiasco seems to be causing problems. Can you email me the link to your fic? I want to take a look at it and see if there's something I can do about it.

I just checked one of my fics. My rollover chinese translation formatting all went to hell. Makes me sad

Link if Haken could please take a look: http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=15384

My log entry doesn't seem to want to hold any formatting, either.

I hate to jump on the pile but...

I use a whole whole lotta html, so much that my fic is hard to read right now! I'm ready to go in and take out the formatting if it can't be fixed because... ew! LOL!

Thanks for all your good works Haken!

If the script issue can't be fixed, I'll go and edit it, but I really like my fic and I hope it can please be fixed...

Can you email me a link to a specific fic where the formatting is weird? That way I'll know what to fix.
