Newsletter Bug

wirt

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so here goes:

Newsletter text seems to be duplicated several times throughout the same newsletter. Image for reference:

Not that it bothers me that much, but I figure a bug is a bug ?

I don't see that in my copies, but there was something odd happening as I was editing it. Stuff I copied and pasted from forum posts wasn't showing up until I pasted it in a text editor and then copied it from there again (a trick I often use to strip out hidden code and end up with plain text).

@Norio - Somehow I got the impression it was to do with the code that appends in a credit to text copied from the site (e.g.: - See more at: http://www.guitarforum.co.za/site-feedback/newsletter-bug/?action=post;num_replies=0#sthash.bZLfLVPZ.dpuf). Can you take a look please?

I saw the same thing happen on previous newsletters as well. I've extracted the HTML from the newsletter email and pastebin'ed it here, in case it might be useful to anyone.

Doesn't do it on mine either.

I have noticed this code when pasting lately though. That new?

The duplication happened to the letters I receive. Haven't said anything cos it didn't bother me...

Also, I wouldn't even know where to start with fixing it... :-[

Thanks guys. We've figured out how it's happening and how to avoid it in future.

That is a skill I'd rather not have ?
