I've never seen that ... are you replacing all the "<"s and ">" by the respective identities?

Here is what I (and probably most others too) see: http://www.ludd.luth.se/users/vk/pics/rubbish/krogg.dum.gif If you see anything else I suggest you change your settings again. Do not expect all other people here to limit their images just to make them look pretty in some program that is clearly not suited to view ascii images (or copy that image to your editor and look at it there). The picture looks fine! There are no non-standard characters, tabs or anything else there that should cause any trouble. -- _ _ __ ___.--'_`. __ __ _ .'_`--.___ __ ( _`.'. - 'o` ) \ \ / /__ _ _ ___ _ _ (_)__ __ _ ( 'o` - .`.'_ ) _\.'_' _.-' \ V / -_) '_/ _ \ ' \| / _/ _` | `-._ `_`./_ ( \`. ) //\` \_/\___|_| \___/_||_|_\__\__,_| '/\\ ( .'/ ) \_`-'`---'\\__, ,__//`---'`-'_/ \` `-\ uggc://jjj.yhqq.yhgu.fr/hfref/ix/ /-' '/ ` _____________________ r93...@fz.yhgu.fr ____________________ ' LIKE MY SIG?

I wonder if anyone realises that having a ">" in your ascii art
that is leftmost non space will make that line do its ">" thing.
like:
=-_+_+_+_+_+-=-+_+-=-
| | | | |
| | |.-'"\_|
|| ||| |.-'"\ / |
\\/\//'"\ \/ |
>\/< \ / ----|<---this line will be ">"ed
//<>\\ \/ |
|| || /-------|
___________/________|Krogg97
I dunno if this happens with other browsers but i see it all the time.
I changed my ">" setting to turn text purple as slant it was the
default.and every now and again i see a line of purple text going
through a pic.Its not a big deal but i was wondering if anyone avoids
using ">" first on a line for this.
