Hey Raven (and admin)...

I know that you fixed my little post count error not too long ago, but it's now affecting a ton of other members as well.

Here's what I posted in Channel 0.

What happened is when anyone from the old board tried to reset their password they would get something with "imported_(username here)."

When they tried to register that name (out of confusion), it did register, but realized it was an incorrect account and didn't fully complete.

In my case, I did it three times before my "-Rage-" account activated.
There were still two more users as "imported_-Rage-" with the same amount of posts.

After an hour all of my names that I tried to re-register merged together and added all the posts together, thus my 26k posts.

Raven fixed my account back to the norm now.
As he should now do with the many many people who have double or triple their post count now.

Alright, I'll just bring this stuff to the maintainers attention just so that they know it's out there. Both of these "bugs" showed up in Opera 8.51 and IE 6.0.29x. Sorry for the larger-than-normal size, just wanted you to see what I was seeing.

First up, I'm getting mark-up in quotes. This is from the Detroit thread. Not sure if whoever did the quoting messed it up somehow but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to see (let alone have access to it) the actual PHP server-side script in a post:

The other one is from the same Detroit thread and actually shows the same post. Post #5764 is in the picture above. In this new screen cap, you see that there is a post directly above and directly below it which contain pictures that are obviously sized a bit too wide for the screen.

I know that in the last revision of 12oz, everyone's post area on the same page was the same width as the widest post. Now it seems that each post has their own width. Not sure if this is a bug or it is the desired end.

the code is just simple html that didnt translate well with the import. no big deal, it'll disappear as it gets burried under new threads. as far as the post width thing, we purposely made it so that oversized images dont kill the entire page. that way you can still scroll down and use the tools and skip scrolling sideways unless you really want to.

On the old 12oz home page, when you could click "Channel Zero" under the "Latest Threads/Posts" heading, it'd take you directly to Ch.0, however, now it takes you to the list of all the subforums like Metal Heads and shit. Is there an option I didn't set up in my control panel or is it like that for everyone? I don't mind that it happens, just that it really cuts out half the shit I don't care to know exist (The Yard).
