It's not a big deal, but...

I just thought I'd point it out. I'm on Firefox. Oddly, when I checked on Safari, Newest Members didn't exist at all.

Is firefox just more awesome?

Maybe it is unevaluated HTML or something... Not sure though hmm

i saw that too!
it looks like an HTML comment, but i looked at the source and it actually says the character symbol.

i'ts a html comment, however, it was not correct, so It showed on the page.

i'm using firefox and now newest members isnt showing!

It's not appearing in Google Chrome.

EDIT: By the way, this is the source of that part:

Code:

<!--

    <div id="NewestMembers" class="sidecontainer">

      <h4>Newest Members </h4>

      <ul class="sidelist">

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701851_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A56%3A42" title="thenewlow" alt="thenewlow" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/thenewlow">thenewlow</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701850_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A40%3A47" title="HelloAvis" alt="HelloAvis" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/HelloAvis">HelloAvis</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701849_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A38%3A56" title="srinidhi" alt="srinidhi" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/srinidhi">srinidhi</a> </li>

                <li><img src="/static/icons/buddy/701848_sm.png?t=2011-01-17+01%3A36%3A07" title="akshaya" alt="akshaya" width="28" height="28"><a href="/users/akshaya">akshaya</a> </li>

              </ul>

    </div>

//-->

So that is a comment. Comments shouldn't be displayed in the browser.

Well, Internet Explorer has no problems with showing that up. smile

scimonster · 2011-01-24 04:21:36

But it shouldn't be a comment. It is supposed to be a sidebar or something like that.

Harakou · 2011-01-24 15:40:56

It sounds like they just hid that part of the sidebar with an HTML comment, but your browser wasn't formatting it correctly for some reason. I don't have the problem on Firefox, and it's still there on lines 419-429 if you check the source. hmm

The reason it is not showing is because  are pieces of EPIC PAGE SABOTAGE CODE!

Actually, they're HTML comment tags. Anything between them is not meant to be displayed, only left as a comment on what the HTML does. The Scratch Team were trying to hide the newest members section, but they didn't do their comments properly.

Anyway, they've fixed it now.
