I - I can’t ignore it! It’s so … beautiful – pzzzzzztz Try some text with bracketed letters within the text and it works the same way. E.g. I [don’t really]love you[r little toes]. ---

I tried to move this thread from ATMB to ATMB (because you know everyone loves clicking on Moved: threads), but it gave me this error: “You cannot move a thread to the same forum it is currently in.

This is pretty neat. We need to put this straight into our spoiler policy. Much better than adding a ton of whitespace, or adding a few posts. Just change to using brackets around spoiler tags. ---

Uhh, I’m not seeing anything special, not even when I hover. Is it because I’m using an inferior browser (IE7, not my fault! I’m at work! I use FF at home, honest!)? ---

Someone else may have just moved this thread to your destination forum resulting in this error message.” A common error on older versions of vBulletin. Once you do the upgrade, the message will say “Wherever you go, there you are”. ---

Just change to using brackets around spoiler tags. Years ago, on another message board, someone called me a “whitespace bitch”. I never knew what it meant… until now. ---

The thing is, I could have ignored it if it was just the OP. But then everyone else got in on it, and you have to come look see for yourself. I’m not helping, I know. But, Gotta love that Lorem Ipsum : No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Has to be the best part of it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ignore-this/530436.md?page=2)
