Feature "totally broken website" is working great.

I was a dozen hours into editing a new ible, and now it looks like this:

Yay! When Tim is happy, we're all happy :-)

rachel says:

Tim, I'm sorry about that! But try it now. I just did a new release and a thing did break and I fixed it; if you saved your Instructable none of your work should be lost because this, bizarre as that may seem, was only a display issue. If you did lose any work let me know and I will see if I can dig anything useful out of the logs.

kelseymh says:

Tsk, tsk, tsk. If an ordinary user gets hosed, that's one thing, but now you've messed with Tim!

Apr 21, 2010. 9:12 AM

kelseymh says:

Tim, if it turns out that Rachel was right and your work is still on the server, would you be willing to post a comment update to reassure us? Thanks!

Everyone please bow your head in a moment of silence for the lost Ible.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; except for 500 Servlet Exception!

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I feel your pain!

Whoa, that doesn't look good. Always remember to save every few minutes.
