I don't know what this is, but I am sure I have put the / in on past occasions when it didn't centre properly for other browsers. Firefox does correct for the missing /, but my feeling is that the / is not really missing.

You know, it's not a lot to believe that people can sometimes miss out a /, but I find it a lot to believe this happens so often with the same command in the same circumstances.

When I go to fix a centering problem, the missing "" is always the culprit.  Maybe she has a sticky "" key? :)  It's no big deal, we all commit typo's here.  Judge not lest...

It happens to other people too. Twice to me. I find that odd (not that it should happen to me, but that it should happen to different users, repeatedly).

Maybe you looked after someone else corrected. This happened once a month or two ago when I did the correction for you. (And it was just then that I checked the page's look both on Firefox and IE.)

Maybe there are real gnomes who live in the site and magically fix these things...

Computer gnomes - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Power-users are encouraged to sew little hats, shoes, and jerkins for them and post them through the floppy drive. Given that within the computer gnome society, it is the women who give the orders, other people have suggested leaving out tiny dildos for the gnome women to pleasure themselves with. Another recommendation has been the supplement of viagra, which would keep both the male and female gnomes otherwise occupied.

Good gracious.

As you said back then, yet I most certainly inserted a lacking / .

As a demonstration, with apologies to Fran, I removed the / from the closing centring tag in this morning's Salon, compare appearance in Firefox and in IE.

Apology accepted :-) I just compared firefox and IE and IE actually looks messed up after the Salon, whereas on firefox it looks almost okay, except for the tag line.

I now reverted it back to normal.
