Just to share one of the strange things, I can't post properly. It'd show my first paragraph and then ate 80% of the post. The next paragraph was somehow my last paragraph and it also turned the last paragraph into Italics. >.> I'll be copying my post to Notepad and re-post the proper one once this ends.

| Try posting your message here. It's better if I can see the problem and analyze them. |

I'm not sure if it'll show up properly or not. But I'll try. So here goes nothing. This is meant to be a post in Final Fantasy XI thread.

I was doing the wrong things the whole time. Actually now that I think about it, I could have gotten the worm too with my first party if I had done ‘Cast Lots'... |
Congratulations on getting 2 out of 3, and it's too bad that you didn't cast lot on the worm. >..<;

Oh you managed to get the whole quest done? Wooooo!!! Congratulations, man. BLM/WHM for the win!!!

We went there and started easy, then we decide to take on a Goobbue!
Man, that was the closest battle I've been to and got away unscathed!
The RNG and SAM fell and I with 8 HP left did a Blizzard and finally felled the accursed thing!
Got close to 300 EXP! |
Man, that sound like real fun. Did anyone used their 2-hr abilities? I would've imagined they did since it seemed to be an all-out do or die battle. Hahahhahaa. Awesome awesome.

| The PLD stayed with us and helped take on more Goobbue and even Malboro's, (wasn't in actual party of course) it was great! |
Just in case you don't know, the PLD in this case is called a PL (Power Level) in a sense that he pretty much keep you guys alive against mobs that would've normally kill your party with ease. There are good things and bad things of having PL. While it usually means quick EXP gain, there could be drawbacks if you have PL all the time though.

If partying was always this fun I don't want to solo anymore...

Hahahahahaha! Never imagined that you would've ever said something like that. But here's the basic concept. Partying is fun if:
1. No one stupid in your party to ruin it (innocent mistakes are understandable, but stupid players are annoying)
2. There are enough mobs to kill comfortably to chain (so the zone is not too crowded)
3. No one got randomly disconnected, or constantly AFK (gosh I hate players who party and AFK every 10 minutes or so)
What level is your BLM now? 20? Don't forget asking help for an escort to Jeuno so that you don't die on the way. I'm glad that you had fun =D
EDIT: Okay this is what happened indeed. Before the Italics part started, there were more posts in there. But if actually post them, they're gone when I tried to edit it. As if it didn't exist to begin with.
However, if I use "preview" before posting, the message box would still have my real content, but it just won't show up on the preview. And obviously gone when I really posted.

| Seems like the problem was resolved. You may have posted your original message just as I was tinkering with the posting functions. |

Uhm sorry maybe you missed my Edit (it Timed Out several times as I edit it)
But here is the problem. Before the part where it suddenly turned Italics, there was more content that just "disappeared" out of nowhere. And it also somehow turned the text on my Signature as Italics out of nowhere (it's not Italics on the posts previous to the turbulance)
EDIT: Okay this is getting a bit weird after I did more Preview-ing. Let's say that my post is divided into 3 parts:
Part 1: The normal bit
Part 2: The missing content
Part 3: Starting from suddenly goes Italics
If I just preview Part 1, it's fine.
If I just preview Part 2, it's fine.
If I just preview Part 3, it's fine.
If I just preview Part 2 and Part 3, it's fine
If I just preview Part 1 and Part 2, it's fine
If I just preview Part 1 and Part 3, it's fine
But if I preview the whole post, it'll only show Part 1 and then Italics Part 3.
I don't get it. >.<; If I chopped my post, it shows up fine. But if I somehow combine all into 1, it got screwed. And of course the mystery is how come my signature can be Italics in that screwed post while not Italics elsewhere. Since there is only 1 place to edit/change Signature text, they should all look the same (either all Italics or all not Italics).
I guess I can just apologize in advance for that particular thread and double-post (Part1&Part2, and then Part 3) to solve the matter. If that's okay with you guys.
EDIT #2: Okay I managed to actually solve the problem. It was caused by using TWO >.<; emoticons sandwich-ing the missing content.
So it was like emoticon1 [insert the disappearing post content] emoticon2. This wouldn't normally cause any problem but since the first letter I used directly after the emoticon was the letter "I", it took it as if it's HTML tag of Italics.
Sorry about the trouble. It was really coincidental that it happened when you were tinkering with the board, VX. Since that's the first time it happened to me, I thought it had something to do with the tinkering.
I'll make sure to tick Disable HTML code from now on to avoid similar problem in the future.
