Thread weirdness

Lekvar started a thread in the Creation, which you can see here. Tell me I'm not seeing things and that the 'Edit Post' box in indeed in the wrong place, and that the post content appears to be truncated.

And if this turns out to be not just hallucination on my part, could someone fix it? Should I request deletion and inform Lekvar that ze needs to start a new topic?

It's an HTML error - lekvar failed to put inverted commas at the end of the URL in his a tag, which means the browser doesn't display the rest of the post (because it's waiting to be told that the URL has ended). Along with failing to close off a tags, it's one of the most common HTML errors - always worth looking out for if something hinky seems to have happened to a post.

Don't worry about it - perfectly simple mistake to make.

And everyone learned something from it, so in fact it's a good thing you made the mistake you did.

Blargh. I just read this this morning, and then I went and made the exact same mistake in a Switchboard thread.

I put in a mod request to edit and added the quotes, but in the meantime I have this funky-ass post sitting there... do I need to do anything else?...
