What happened in this picture here?

[Gina Stevenson]

Strange things happen sometimes re computer/NN forums. Not sure if this is just some "web glitch" or some "vbulletin glitch." Whatever, the picture of the little guy I posted in the prayer forum was so tiny, it was hard to see details, so I was going to enlarge it a bit [ending up suggesting it could be enlarged the usual way one enlarges a page].

Sooo, clicked on it [doubly] thinking it might pull up the pic in "edit" mode to enlarge it some. This undecipherable gobbledygook is what occurred along with the picture, instead of a picture in edit mode:

Anyone recognize this "language"? Can't believe it took the note that was in the post along with it (presume it's that note) and did this to it. Weird, huh?

Has anyone else haf such a weird thing happen? Furthermore, does anyone have any idea how on earth this does happen?

(just learned that clicking on the red X in the corner enlarges it so it's "readable" ... tho' not sure this could be considered "readable" material. )

Lorem ipsum is placeholder language... you often see it in templates (like powerpoint templates). I think (but I haven't played with it), that you got the screen that edits the alignment of the text, showing whether the text is right-aligned, left-aligned, etc. I don't know why it doesn't use your text instead of placeholder text.

Oh, I never heard of such a thing. Very strange.

Thanks, Jon

[Didn't really think it had a name when I asked re the "language," but I see it does have a name, after all. ]

Edited to add that it appears I've "learned my (one) new thing for today!"
