    Note to self: no commas in Tachy, EVER. Wow, maybe they should filter them out before saving in case of user error or impairment.

    lmao - I once was working on a style for my site and a friends site and uploaded my xml file and folders to their site. LOL

    It wasn't the reaction I thought. they were amazed and so were the community and I had to give them my own style because of my mistake which they thought was theres.

    Yeah I was quite surprised on that part really. I mean it was still my fault, going back and looking it mentions not to use commas, but I figured that it would not parse them.. haha

    A kind member even took my avatar (the typical one you see of jiminy cricket walking forward holding an umbrella down and his hat up) and put a giant comma in place of the hat. I rocked that av for months just to play good sport.

    Did something like that with the Swedish Chef one year and there were absolutely no posts until I reverted everything to normal. (Though I think that had more to do with the Encheferizer than the template and avatar changes.)

    Have any of you ever had an "oops!" moment that was intended as a joke, but went the entirely different direction (meaning, it wasn't perceived as planned)?
