Mickey - if it was something Joe was able to correct in the thread - then the most likely reason is that it was an html error by someone posting to the thread- or something posted by a user that conflicted with your particular browser. Next most likely reasxon would be that it was something that caused problems during the transmission over the particular chain of routers to you.

I've seen this happen on other forums - and in guestbooks. I've also seen it take up to six months to correct - in one particular case it I know well over 100 people reported the error, that the site has a web-designer on retainer to "fix" problems - and it still took the six months for them to fix.
