Bizarre alignment/spacing/justification problems

[Rathmun]

So, one of my readers just informed me that some of my old chapters are horribly mangled.

When Scygnus reads This post everything after a certain point is all squashed onto a single line that extends off the screen. (No word wrapping)
When I read it from my phone, I see the same behavior.
When I read it from my laptop, I see everything on the correct lines, but the middle third of the chapter has tabs instead of spaces, and no word-wrapping, then the last third is center-justified.
When Pseudonym reads it, everything after a certain point is centered, but the text is at least all on screen.

When I go look at the BBcode, there's nothing wrong with it. There's not a single

[center]

tag in the document. Heck, there aren't any tags at all between where the text is fine and where the formatting is borked.

So... WTF?


Edit: It's not just my posts either. this vote is also mangled when I look at it, as are many others.


What's wrong with my thread!?

The problem is that you've got [Ruby] as a marker on that vote, and per a change I made last week, that's now a BB-code.

For a quick fix, you can write [plain][Ruby][/plain] in replacement every time. I may change the new bbcode name if it looks like this problem will be too widespread.

Okay, it looks like a lot more posts have used [Ruby] as a marker than have actually used the new ruby-text syntax. So I've changed it.

Posts in the Conduit thread should now be fixed.

Phew. Thanks. Trying to fix every instance of that in a RWBY quest would have been quite the task.

Ideally Nettally wouldn't use the same style of brackets as BBcode, but it does.
