Please cut your quizzes and memes....

[conuly]

There are some quizzes and memes which can break your journal/friends page. I don't mean like "they can force you to scroll" or "they can make you have to skim down over a lot of boring stuff" but like they can break your friends page or journal so all of a sudden your entries appear out of order, or you can't find the comment link for a certain post, or you have an annoying popup appear asking you to log in to roadrunner.net.

Very annoying, and the way to solve it is to always use the lj-cut. It's just polite.

This has been a public service announcement.

Whoa. I've never seen one of those. What a shitty thing to program.

I'll cut from now on. Thankee for the heads-up!

They're not programmed like that on purpose, of course. They just contain bad code. Or, in the case of the "roadrunner" quizzes, an image which is hosted on a site that doesn't actually allow remote loading....

Well, the instructions for one set of quiz results did specifically tell people to delete the closing tag for an image or a link, I forget which. But that was the author's poor knowledge of HTML, not a malicious plan to break things afaik.

Why on earth would she even suggest such a thing?

It wasn't intentional. It was a "delete this section" to just get the picture or just get the text. She understood function, but not structure.
