this post shows up without the last line to me, but the last line is there when it is quoted.

how does this happen? someone else pointed it out so it isn't just me.

I highlighted the unquoted version, to make sure it wasn't in white. Someone else also noticed this in the thread.

Edit: I think I just got leveled by Haven. =/

Also if you select "view source" on the linked post and search through the source listing, you won't find the text of the last line anywhere (try searching the first two words "how can" - not to be found). Yet it appears when quoted. The mystery runs deep. It is most likely an internet miracle.

At the risk of explaining a bona fide miracle which should not be explained, only experienced... This is the visible text of the linked post:

Quote:

this reminds me of when i was 16 and used to get the free cats from craigslist, get them shots and stuff, then resell them for like 50-200$ (depending on how much cheap **** i decided to include)

And this is the text I see when I hit the quote button:

how can you be old enough to have children and still make this thread? sigh

Do your results vary?

yeah definitely some accounts can see it and some can't, it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.

I don't recall doing anything to change skins. Is Fusion skin the default? And anyway, wtf why would just this one post be interacting differently with different skins?

So now do you think you could deliberately make a post that has extra words when quoted that aren't visible in the original post? I'd imagine BBV4L could have fun with this.

Wasn't there some way to put code or something into a post that wouldn't show up until it was quoted? Or is that a myth?
