Title: Post Preview Formatting

This is a weird bug that probably means nothing. I can't figure out why it would happen. I was looking over the Pony Off-Topic board when I moused over the "I know where alicorns came from" thread and saw the syntactical mistake. I'm assuming the mistake at the end was that it was trying to print ' and got cut off. I looked at every single other thread and couldn't find such a typo. The only uncommon denominator in this particular thread is that it got cut off, as opposed to the apostrophe being in the middle of a post. I don't know how the post preview parser functions, but if it iterates over the OP, translates it, and prints it to the preview box, always checking if it's printing past a threshold, then maybe it got stuck between the translating and "thresholding" part and didn't finish the job. That's all I can think of :\

This also happens to me to. I think it's just the way it's displayed, ya know, in that mouse-over box.

Yeah. It may be that one thread for all we know. However, that still means that something in the website code is allowing that to happen, and it needs to be fixed. Well, it could be ignored too; it isn't that big of a problem. Meh 0:)

lets just hope that right now this is not an underlying symptom of a huge and at the moment very hidden catastrophic programming error that has not been seen yet.
