Forum Bug-Need Conformation

I can indeed confirm that last night when I was replying to a post, the last half had strike throughs, but only the bottom half - not the top. 
 
Kind of embarrassing for a software company, wouldn't ya say?

Oh and I just checked that thread. You post looks fine Grem. Just jimusic's is messed up but it's limited to the actual post. Not anything else. Should be able to edit out the strike tags but I was having problems with quote formatting the other day and apparently missing tags when I tried to edit it. It was weird.

I am back home now. Just checked said thread on my home PC and it looks fine like you see Beep. But looking again on my win8p it still has the strike-throughs.
 
No big deal. But I'm sure the admins will see it and think "He's on a Windows 8 Phone?' and then they start laughing at each other while the guy in the next cubicle says "Yeah let him wait for a fix on that!"

Which one? There are quite a few software companies that had a hand in writing this forum software and the tools you are using to interact with it.

Hmm...I would have thought just one company would have supplied this to Cake by contract.
 
It's news to me that more than one would have been involved, but I can see it.
 
But Cake would most likely want to periodically keep an eye on these forums to watch for any problems anyway, wouldn't they?
 
One way or another, it does inevitably reflect back on them though, even if they've been completely hands off of it.

You guys are a tough crowd. 
 
For clarity, we didn't create this forum software, we just customized it a bit to fit within the bounds of our site. We can make slight modifications, but a lot of it is compiled, requiring us to contact the vendor for major changes. To be honest, we're more in the business of making music software, not forum software. We've been reporting issues as we come across them though, and resolving the ones we can on our end.
 
The post in question had some poorly formatted HTML (various <strike> tags and <s> tags mid post). It most likely happened by accident with a button press or key command. The mobile theme of this forum software didn't appear to like this... it was skipping over one of the closing tags. I could see exactly what everyone else was reporting. I edited the tags out and it appeared to resolve the issue for that thread. Seems to be to be more of an issue with the mobile theme than a specific browser (Windows 8, Android browser, etc.).
 
 

You wouldn't have had to post from the mobile theme, but the mobile theme didn't display it properly from what I could see. I think that is why people were citing Windows phones and Android devices since the forum has a bunch of mobile detection strings that will automatically default these types of devices to using the mobile theme.
 
Anyhow, yeah I'm not sure what exactly caused it other than something by accident. As it is, some keypress accidentally just brought my browser back a page as I was typing this reply.   The cool thing though I didn't lose my draft when returning
