Don't worry, I'm sure that between the two of us we'll come up with something really horrible to do in our fierce vengeance...Bwa-Ha-Haaa!!!<br /><br />For now, I'm sure my scathing rant and virtual kick in the balls was probably enough for this particular offense. But they'd better watch themselves in the future, that's all I have to say!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-25910394970718543032011-01-16T00:17:59.514-06:002011-01-16T00:17:59.514-06:00@Bryan: Thanks for the tips, really.

It's good to know that there's a relatively simple explanation for the whole thing. <br /><br />However...I'm lazy and I will more than likely be leaving the post as it is. BUT I will most definitely be more careful about how I add pictures in the future. Thanks again! :)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-84213762632870512842011-01-15T16:21:32.349-06:002011-01-15T16:21:32.349-06:00@Candice: I checked out your post to see what you ...@Candice: I checked out your post to see what you were talking about. I think you ran into the same thing I was referring to above. Whenever I tried to include images in the post as I was writing, I always ran into the same problem, no spaces between paragraphs or too many spaces. Now I go through and put the images in last, after everything's written. I think the images screw up the HTML code. I would suggest going back and editing the post. Switch to HTML view. You'll probably find a line of code like this:<br /><br />span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; (I had to take the "< >"s out or they wouldn't let me post this comment, but you get the idea.)<br /><br />..between each paragraph. Delete it and leave a single blank line instead. Hopefully, that helps. Hopefully it doesn't screw up your post. I don't really know what I'm talking about, so exercise extreme caution.Bryan Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607046468663026271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-39559781127372889892011-01-15T16:06:48.254-06:002011-01-15T16:06:48.254-06:00She said, "I mis-worded my explanation.

I meant that it violates the article in the ToS that refers to extreme grammatical and punctuation errors that might make it difficult to be read and enjoyed. Even though it is neither a grammar or punctuation error, it applies."<br /><br />Yeah. There is no way you can possibly stretch "coding error" to "so badly written that you can't understand it." All it did was put their options for reviews and rating in bold and italics. It didn't make anything difficult to read.<br /><br />BULL HOCKEY! is all I have to say on the matter. She's just pulling excuses out of her ass, now. Pardon the language. <br /><br />Candice: Yup. They are now officially on the List. Although how we would extract revenge on Blogger for their formatting errors, I'm not sure. But it will be pretty easy to have revenge on HPFF. All it takes is a little HTML coding. :)Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-86320640860218324972011-01-15T15:35:54.748-06:002011-01-15T15:35:54.748-06:00This must be the "screwed up formatting for o...This must be the "screwed up formatting for online posting" week! How stupid is that? I'm putting this website on "the list" that we put Blogger on this week, and they'd better watch it from now on, or it's curtains for them! I'll bring the beat down myself!

But I went back and checked the Terms of Service just to see what exactly fell under "hacking" and what I found was that there no mention of hacking in the ToS at all, and furthermore that there were absolutely no term listed that mentioned anything about incorrect coding. It did, however, say that the Staff could alter mistakes in anything submitted or published.<br /><br />I think that the Beta that intercepted my minor mistake was too freaking lazy to fix the problem, but knew she couldn't approve the message if it interfered with the formatting, so she made up a bullshit reason (again, NO mention of hacking in the ToS though it's specifically mentioned that I violated the ToS in the message) and sent it back to me after making me wait a uselessly long time to do it. And because it got sent back I now have to wait like an ordinary mortal in the queue to make sure I fixed it.<br /><br />Now that I know that I did not violate the letter of the ToS, nor the Spirit of it, I'm sending a second e-mail with a copy of the first and a copy of the ToS asking for her to specifically highlight the article I have supposedly infringed upon.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107542310136355575.post-22424276861008052152011-01-15T14:08:24.782-06:002011-01-15T14:08:24.782-06:00P.S.

I guess you could call it, "Erring on the side of caution", but whenever it's happened to me, it always evokes that same response. I know how you feel. It's like the TSA calling you a "terrorist" just because you forgot that you left your nail clippers in your bag.<br /><br />I've had some issues with spacing with Blogger's post editor, by the way, especially if I try to add images while still writing the post. I quickly learned that that was a big mistake. Now I add the images last. Not that I'm saying that has anything to do with your problem; I'm just rambling. I wouldn't even know where to begin with the HTML format, not even for something simple like that. So at least you can give yourself a big pat on the back for being more computer literate than I am. That isn't saying much. I used to program a lot of games in Basic on a C64 when I was a kid. Some of them were quite elaborate. My family actually expected me to grow up and become a computer programmer, but I lost interest in it. Now, I might as well be a caveman for all I know about current programming.Bryan Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607046468663026271noreply@blogger.com
