Please do not use code formatting for quotes. It creates a terribly long unbroken side-scrollable box.
> The Institute’s results also demonstrate the exceptional strength of Model 3’s all-glass roof, which is supported by a very strong metal body structure and helps protect occupants in roll-over crashes. During testing, the car’s roof was able to successfully resist more than 20,000 pounds of force – that’s more than if we placed five Model 3s on top of the car’s roof at once. And, the roof earned a higher strength-to-weight ratio score than any other fully electric vehicle that IIHS has ever tested.
- SEJeff 7y agoupvoting you for this. I thought it would break it into a block, and was wrong.
- SilasX 7y agoWow, and seeing how the post appeared after submitting didn't convince you otherwise?
- SEJeff 7y agoWell when I looked at it a bit later, I was unable to edit the original comment. Kind of makes the point moot don't you think?
- SilasX 7y agoYou didn't see/care how the post looked for several hours?
- SEJeff 7y agoOf all of the hills to die on, you picked a pretty lousy one. Excuse me for casually browsing HN between doing actual real work. I guess not all of us can do HN fulltime.
- cjsawyer 7y agoInternet comments are usually fire-and-forget.
- rootusrootus 7y agoEspecially on HN, which does a poor job of letting you know that someone has replied to your comment.
- sand500 7y agoFWIW, someone made a tool that emails you if your comment gets a reply. http://www.hnreplies.com/ http://www.hnreplies.com/
- eatbitseveryday 7y agoThat’s neat, thanks! I usually just refresh once an hour or so.
- monkeywork 7y agohaving a rough day or are you just naturally an ass? must be nice living in a world where your biggest problem is the fact that someone didn't go back and review a post they made on an internet message board immediately after posting it.... the horrors.
- mirrortits 7y agoCan you PLEASE go fuck yourself?
- dang 7y agoOuch, please don't post like this to HN. We ban accounts that do it, because we're trying for something different here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Could you please read those guidelines and use HN as intended? We'd be grateful.
- adt2bt 7y agoWhat’s with the attitude? He said he was wrong and the child comment fixed the issue. No need to castigate him.
- SilasX 7y agoJust surprised how people are able to miss this. SEJeff in particular has been a member since 2012 and has 7500 karma, and somehow never saw a post that looked unreadable because of blockquote, including his own.
- skyyler 7y agoI hope your mood improves soon. No one should have to be as bitter as you are right now. I don't mean this in jest, I really do hope that you find some peace.
- MrBuddyCasino 7y agoWondering will I ever see the day this gets fixed. Shouldn’t take more than an hour?
- crushingcrash 7y agoThis is hilarious to me, how this site is so badly laid out and has so many rendering bugs.
- Sohcahtoa82 7y agoIt's not a bug, it's a feature. Prepending 4 spaces is intended to be used for posting source code, where automatic line wrapping is undesirable.
- MrBuddyCasino 7y agoI mean you could just render it differently on mobile, or at least not with such a tiny bounding box. Its not impossible.
- kazinator 7y agoNote: on HN, just two spaces marks off code.
- austhrow743 7y agoThis site is absolutely littered with that formatting. It needs to be changed to [yesiampostingcode][/yesiampostingcode] or something like that. It's not like browsing the internet on a phone is a new concept any more. Little ridiculous how nothing has been done about its frequent use.
