whiteboard[edit]

My apologies for the inadvertent spam, & thanks for the alert. I should have asked about it yesterday, but RL intervened before I could. I have tried deleting the text before saving, using the sandbox to edit, writing in Gedit & copy-pasting, etc, with no effect. I have no idea what's happening. I have looked at my prefs, & can see nothing obvious that would make this happen. I notice that this is boxed, which I have not formatted, as can be seen from the edit page of this txt. Is this a page-size function? Would mis-set 'scripts' cause these aberrations?

Sorted today, after I'd forgotten about it. :) Archolman User talk:Archolman 18:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
