    If in any doubts about how to deal with all things "Goat", you could do a lot worse than consult a Mason.

    **** that. He should be working 24/7 until the ******* thing is fixed.
    That's right. Every 5 minutes he should phone people up and motivate them to work harder and faster. That'll definitely help.
    I mean he's personally responsible since he built the rig himself, and can personally fix it.

    I bet most contractors here would work 20 hour days when they screw up... not.

    Can somebody give me steps to reproduce this one? I can't get it to break like that either with or without the WYSIWYGish editor

    Hang on, let me fire up Windows and try it on IE...

    Goat test

    That worked in Safari 5 and I deliberately used the brackets rather than %28 and %29.

    I'm pretty sure that some previous version of Safari caused it to cack on the trailing bracket. I've seen this on another vBulletin forum as well, not just CUK.

    I've witnessed this too. When quoting links with punctuation characters (only really seen on Wiki) putting the URL in double quotes gets round this.

    Yep. Obama was playing golf.

    Obama, who celebrated a quiet Father's Day at the White House yesterday, spent four hours on the links with Vice President Biden on Saturday.

    Feature! Yes, that would be the word!

    Only the Paris one. And to be on the safe side I'd stay away from the water rides.

    There are other people who work for BP, you know. If Tony Hayward chucks a sickie or goes canoeing then they can carry on making oil while he's away. It's not all about him.

    Don't know what the deal is? Links from the URL put not on the paste. (oh well I'm not going to lose sleep).
