There are sight color differences...209.240.116.218 19:55, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I've created a version that brings out the color contrast, but I don't have permissions to upload it yet. How may I get those? Rumbling7145 (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

See Special:ListGroupRights for info about becoming autoconfirmed. In the meantime, you can upload the image onto an image hosting website such as Imgur or ImgBB and I can help you upload it! tori :3talk to me! 20:20, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Anyone know where that </div> overlaying "Add Comment" at the bottom of the discussion is coming from? Barmar (talk) 21:01, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Well, Tori's signature is a bit lopsided with its tags, by the time it gets to the browser (is one </span> short, and has one closing </a> before the closing </span> that should have been within it), but not sure how that might have tricked-out the rest so that some closing </div> is redundant, without going through the entire page source to track down any other accumulated discrepancies.
I've seen that rogue close-div before, and I seem to recall that some precautionary extra close-tags (in either HTML or Wiki markup) have been added to 'make sure' some things don't run on. But it seems to vanish after some later edits (either main comic page or discussion one), and I would have imagined that the excess tag would just be 'ignored' under most circumstances. But it's difficult to tell easil tell what a combination of meta-tagging and actual tagging does.
And there's all kinds of weirdness in the scripting part of the page, like the bit that says node.outerHTML="\u003Cdiv id=\"localNotice\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003E\u003Cdiv[... most of this statement removed ...]\n\u003C/div\u003E\u003C/div\u003E"; with escaped DIVs in it, that only apply when the script self-modifies the page-source. 81.179.199.253 21:59, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
