The Shoutbox
I imagine hundreds of thousands Australians raising their fists in the air cursing the MOFO server for the 18" of snow that fell overnight. To add insult to injury, it was measured in inches. Grrrrr@server, mate!!!!
Sorry guys, think a too-big nightly backup file kicked the server over. Was fine as soon as I woke up and rebooted.

This has happened once or twice (and can wreak havoc on people in Australia and the like during normal hours now and then), so I'm gonna see about changing the backup routine somehow.

Thanks, Ill try to have a think/track it down.

Nah, bug reports are never whining (at least not inherently). Just wanted to check if it was a recent thing or a memory of what it used to be like.

I don't think this should? Are you sure it currently does this, or just that it used to? Because I think I fixed some stuff related to this some months back. Also, not sure if you mean the entire spoiler tag breaks, or just that it doesn't (well, didn't) work with images. I added a blur effect to them during the aforementioned fix.
Ah right, I havent seen that happen recently, but cant attest to when I last did. Didnt mean to whine or anything - it could just be quite amusing on occasion. Its not that it would break, but you would see the text inside the tag surrounded by (if I remember correctly).
Oh right, I just tried to imitate the spoiler tag and it didnt show.

@Yoda Why does the review summary on the movie's page sometimes show a part that's spoilered? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of the tag?
I mean, yeah, but the answer is that combining lots of custom code from disparate sources is hard.

I have ways to fix this on a case-by-case basis but I'm not going to notice most, so if people can PM me with any issues I can fix them.
