Might somehow be the [[center: ]] markup they're using. The bug only appears in the two posts with the centered image. "I like Shin Megami Tensei :)" is their signature.

Should I PM them about this issue? If they change their title to not have that markup, this bug might disappear.

I can confirm that the centering does mess up the formatting of the site's UI, as Darkling's post creates that exact same bug that Yiptap's forum title does.

Update 2: They PM'ed me, claiming that they don't have the center markup, and are confused on why this glitch is happening.

Update 3, I guess: This query also broke the formatting of this very page. Not entirely sure if it's due to Darkling's test or something else, but this is what I get when viewing it.

Whoops, I spoke too soon. Anyway, the UI gets messed up by centering a caption, as seen here: v

Strangely, that's also at the last page of the Complete Monster thread, yet not the previous page.
