I am sure it is meant to be both.

I think if it were merely a movie scene then there would be a way to attach the
pieces to their starting positions.

| | Ryan,
would you please confirm that it is actually 366 and 367. 366 would be bad news
as we already have a LDraw color in place: 366 - Earth_Orange
How about shadow RGBs for these opal colors?
Cheers, Willy

If LDRAW is following Lego's numbers, Earth Orange should be 12. If LDRAW
is not following Lego's numbers, then there's no problem, just use another
random number for these new ones. If LDRAW is inconsistent in its numbering,
that should probably be addressed before adding new colors

Well, to be honest, I _did_ teach quite a bit back in late 1990 - early 2000.
I was a fully licensed Microsoft/SCO/SuSE/RedHat/Symantec instructor, doing one-off
low-level network security courses for the DoD and the NATO in the Netherlands
(including some hacking stuff - that always made people "oooh" and "aaah" - fun
times). Then things became too "main stream", new "instructors" got licensed
because they didn't make enough mistakes on their instructor's exams,
they only tried to regurgitate the course material (I had to take over a few
classes because the so-called instructor was so bad), so that kinda killed the
fun for me.
And here I am, doing first-tier help desk support fixing printer connection issues.
Oh well. At least it is way less stressful at my age.
Niek.

Yup. Your end tag is in fact a syntax error. If browsers were to strictly follow

The type of error here is a syntax error. Any browser will simply throw out the
malformed tag. The remaining surrounding HTML code will then show there is a
missing closing tag (a _very_ common error), and the browser will slip one in.

Nah. People are not fools because they don't know something (just because
I don't know how to do open heart surgery doesn't make me a fool). You
did something, result was as you expected, so naturally your way of doing was
correct. And in this case it still is - it gets the job done (with the help of
friendly browsers). It was just me being pedantic.

It's possible but I'm guessing it looked fine on the most widely-used
browsers. Your H1/H2/etc. tag would have been closed automatically because it
was nested.

Yeah, I don't really understand this last paragraph of clarification, considering
the code as written, worked as intended. Not only for altering text size but
other things such as boldness, spacing, etc.
For myself, I'm gonna leave it as somewhat of a mystery for now. Got other
things to manage at the moment and my brain handles only so much reasoning at
a time, these days
Thank you, both you and Niek, for taking the time to offer the heads-up and attempt
to education. Very much appreciated.

just close the store up, not sure if anyone is looking at inv that way, most
people are contacting me from a different website where I just uploaded a bsx

It's far more visible on all product pages of your store, and difficult to
