Site Question

[Little Bill]

This is not an electrical question. It's more of a site/forum question.
From time to time I see gibberish in some of the posts, I was wondering if everyone sees this or is it something on my end.

It usually is this:  

What is this, and what causes it?

Sounds like you are seeing some HTML in the posts.   indicates that is a space in the text

I've never seen that here. Can you post an example of where you saw it?

 

[97catintenn]

I haven't seen it here either. Only on other message boards when reading old threads from years ago. I think that happened with site domain changes or hosting changes

15 hp air compressor 3 phase 208 voltage

I have a question with a 15 hp air compressor. 208 voltage 3 phase. the full load current is 46.2. so for wire size i take it by 125 percent for 57 amps. i can run number 6 thwn/thhn. But for the breaker size i use 250 percent for the inverse time breaker and come up with 115 amps for breaker size. But the maunfacter told me i can put it on a 90 amp breaker and was trying to figure out why is this.

I see that gibberish once in awhile also.

When I posted one time the post was taking a long time to upload so I hit the submit button again- which sometimes works to speed the upload. When I did I got that html stuff in my post but I edited it out. Only once did I notice it.

Well now, that clears things up a bit. But I don't understand the part about certain "discussion boards" don't support the HTML code. Seems this site does but sometimes the code doesn't translate.

I suppose it's like all other computer stuff, sometimes they just screw up for no good reason.:happyno:

I mean, can you give me a link to look at it in it's natural habitat?

Don't know how much more natural a link would be as this is a direct copy, copied and pasted right from the source, but here is the link to the thread it's in.

Not sure what you mean by natural habitat, but the following link will take you to an example post...

You can find others by searching html codes. I found that one by searching for " "


I think it is more apt to happen to members using the [advanced] reply editor in WYSIWYG mode. The forum software, coupled with your browser, parses the message, converting it to html code. Sometimes it gets "stuck" during that process. I've seen it quite a few times when I click on Preview Post or Submit, the forum server hangs, followed by a browser refresh or browser "back" action (haven't nailed down exactly how it happens, as it occurs rather infrequently).

I'm thinking he was using a HTML text editor to write his post then transfer it to the forum, I have seen this before just not sure why it happens, the forum removes spaces and or gaps between sentences to shorten the post, I think it maybe this feature that when you transfer out of a text editor (copy/paste) causes some lines of code to display?:?

It happens to me from time to time and I'm not using anything other than this site's reply editor in WYSIWYG mode... but I always edit out the html codes (PITA BTW).

How often does this happen? I've never had it happen to me, and hadn't noticed it in others' posts.

Rather infrequently.

To give you a rough idea, a search for "nbsp" in all forums only returns 28 posts in the past year. Includes all the ones in this thread, but not ones that "nbsp" was edited out.
