Why are all the comments in this thread (from insomniasexx's reply to kleinbl00's comment with picture) in italics? This is happening both on my phone and regular home internet.

WHY ARE WE WHISPERING??!!

(No, but seriously thenewgreen, I'm just wondering if something is glitching somewhere)

The vitriol leaked out into the CSS, dissolving an asterisk and plunging us all into the world of parentheticals.

I initially replied to me instead of her by mistake, and deleted the original post. Which is all italics. I'm guessing there's a glitch in the Matrix that caused the error, but I presumed it was just on my end.

I believe because kb used the star which italicizes it but didn't close it it's open. I noted it in another comment I made for MK regarding a bug in the off the grid post

Great question, I'm on my iPhone and its all italicized too. forwardslash, can you please check this out?

Thanks for the heads up _refugee_

This is so weird, it's not even just a wayward italic tag, each comment loaded after this gets wrapped in italics.

Looks like there's an issue when you close italics with the asterisk as the first character in a word (e.g. *am). I'll see about fixing it.

e: fixed

Oh thank god it's not just me. Was using an outdated browser earlier but it's still here on the latest version of Firefox and happening to you too! Removes tin-foil hat

humanodon ButterflyEffect thenewgreen but everything shows up as normal in my notifications. Hmm. Well, situation has been raised to the appropriate people. I am wondering if we are over some kind of comment threshold or age or something. Dk.

insomniasexx asked if we could break Hubski while mk was away...looks like we did. Same thing as you, fine in the notifications but then italicized in this post.
