Nothing important (I don't think... o.o) but I was wondering why sometimes 2 topics don't have a dividing line between the titles?

Just a kitten curiosity. xD

I've never noticed anything like that Moko. I think it might be a temporary display bug.

Maybe it's a rendering bug in your browser? Happens sometimes on facebook to me.

Most likely a temp render mishap. Everything ok after refresh? :)

Ah...okay.
I don't think it's hurting anything, it can be a little irritating but I'm not complaining, was just curious. xD

@Rod:

:ninja

I can refresh and it still does it, then like magic even after multiple looking at the site it's gone!
Or more times it happens and I have like odd sections all over then it goes away again. o.o

It is definitely a rendering issue with the browser. Zooming up and down in FF using Ctrl + & Ctrl - will sometimes cause this to occur.

I don't know if it's accurate to call it "buggy". The problem arises whenever a one-pixel thick line is scaled down; how should a fraction of a pixel be displayed? (If you render a grid in GIMP and look at the layer's preview thumbnail in the Layers dialog, you will likely see similar missing lines).

One solution would be to reduce the amount of color of the scaled-down line* (e.g., a black line of width 0.5 becomes a one-pixel wide gray line), but that requires either an alpha channel on the display and/or compositing of the line with the background. This approach requires a lot more calculation (and on some display drivers is not possible) and so it is not uncommon to use a quicker method which sometimes eliminates the line altogether.



* In GIMP, scale a layer containing a grid of one-pixel wide lines and you will see what I mean.
