Every comment I look at on LJ suddenly has a semicolon at the end. WTF?

EEEKK! It happened there!

(I'm thinking some comment parsing code has a loose semicolon.)

It's not happening in my comments. Where is your journal style from? Could someone be "improving" it? The semicolon isn't in the email version of the comment.

(Troubleshooting someone else's software is more fun than what i should be doing.)

So i see the colons when i look with your style but not when i tick the box in the "LJ bar" to view in my style. So i'm fairly certain there's something specific about the style. Could LJ hve changed something about how it renders styles?

I don't see them on Kshandra's pages (http://kshandra.livejournal.com/1296160.html#comments), and i wonder if the commenters below are viewing with their own styles.

I searched for "Sugar & Spice: Component" hoping to find others' using the style but had no luck.

Good luck in coping with them!

I don't either maybe it's been fixed.

and maybe I'm sort of a brat because I just can't help doing this;
