I have been searching several topics and noticed &nbsp\\; in a lot of the threads what does it mean and why is it there.

 

Those threads are from awhile back. The forum had a glitch (bug) in it and now they changed over to new software and all is good again. (Thank Goodness)

 

It's an HTML command funtion, used in making web sites.

 

Things got so bad for a while that you couldn't do a post of any length without all these slashes taking over the post. It went on for weeks, and a fair number of people left the forum in frustration.

 

OH GOD, when I saw this thread I skipped a beat
Yes it was from a while back
You would type a LONG thread, click submit, and BAM it vanished
You gussed, screamed

I have to stop now, it was a rough place but we made it through

 

Thanks folks, sorry you had to relive the bad moments. I am glad the problem is fixed.

It was as others said a glitch in the forum software, but as to what it means it is HTML (HyperText Markup Language) for a Non-breaking space.

That was a tough time around here. When I saw the thread title, I was very afraid.

 

Shhhhhhh.....It's the secret pass-code...Shhhhhhhh!!!!
