Weird font issue
Reading the WOTM #18 Guidelines thread, I noticed something really odd about the fonts in people's names on that page.
For example, earlier on in the thread I saw Holmshire's name written as such:
As it should be. Further in the thread, however, on the same page (I have it set to 20 replies per page), this user's name showed up like this:
And... well, is that Comic Sans? Holmshire's name is suddenly written in a different font, on the same page, about 5 or 6 replies further down the thread. And this was the case for EVERYONE beyond that post. All their names written in what looks like Comic Sans. I haven't checked whether it occurs on any other threads (which I will do now) but I thought I'd post this first.
Because this is some weird shit.

from a semi-random guess, we'd think that is somewhat related to browser settings. perhaps those settings occasionally overriding the site settings...
do you have another font set up than the default in your browser?

My guess would be a font tag that wasn't closed in a previous message. Did the post above it use comic sans at all?
No. And I don't think any of the posts were written in Comic Sans either. Regardless, BBCode doesn't work like that -- without a closing tag it doesn't apply changes at all.Originally Posted by Ellri

BB code also wouldn't effect names. :/
Even so, with all the bugginess this forum has been going through, I wouldn't be surprised if the site did something stupid during the translation to HTML. I know that there are certain symbols that once translated in a preview are broken on subsequent previews (mostly the extended unicode symbols). Since all subsequent posts used the same fonts, I would suspect a style override somewhere... or a weird font-tag... Hmm, *takes a look at the actual thread's code*
Ok, I have found the problem (Yay for chrome inspect element). I've stalked Asperser and found that in EVERY thread he/she posts, the posts after his/hers is comic sans for the rest of the page. I think it has something to do with the signature, but I've yet to exactly pinpoint it. Will post back/update when I do.
I think Asperser's custom title is in Comic Sans font? That could have something to do with it.

O_O *blinks* It changes sigs, too, apparently.

Good news is, things change back on the page after. Apparently it only effects the rest of that page that she posted on.
Regardless, that's still very weird. :I
Ok, I've pinpointed the issue. As Kagamine said, it's the username. For some reason, it breaks the font for the rest of the page. I wouldn't know exactly why, but I would say it's the source.
After this section of code, the Comic Sans MS font face declaration repeats for a number of layers all the way to the post list. This is behavior I am COMPLETELY puzzled on. XDHTML Code:<span class="usertitle"> <font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color="#ffc0cb"><font size="2"><b>♫ </b>Loveaholic <b>♫</b></font></font><font> </font></font></span>
HTML Code:<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font> <li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer old" id="post_7455432">[A whole bunch of tags and shiz]</li> <li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer old" id="post_7457144">[Lost of quotes tags and stuff]</li> . . . </font></font>
VB4, wtf are you doing... ?
