Note the space inbetween the W and the y towards the end, especially apparent when you copy and paste that text. I didn't put the space there, and it doesn't show a space while editing.

Space error first appeared (for me) here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300414.msg3220444#msg3220444

That's very odd - it doesn't even show in the source html.

What browser are you using?  Chrome?

Never mind, it shows up in IE as well.  I thought it might be browser specific post html processing of some sort.

It doesn't show a space in Chrome, got a screenshot of it showing in another browser?

Copy and paste it into Notepad (if you use windows)

Or double-click the text. That should select the entire block, but it stops highlighting at the W. I can take a screenshot, but the space is barely perceptible even at max zoom (just before it line-breaks it).

Very long unbroken words have spaces inserted into them so that they don't make your post too wide. You can avoid this by putting the text into [code] or, if you're OK with having your entire post scroll horizontally, [nobbc].

The space is due to the way some browsers parsing the html code.

I see this as the raw html

Code:

<div class="quote">Signed message: This 1 BTC is for sale by TheButterZone for $140<br>Signature: HOxlhwW83HZCEMw2DBGiqyf0dJFTgCtjvwpypPndsIzScc5RhD5xOC1PXaSveZIiL5pKG7bH3kZ47gW<span style="width: 0; margin: 0 -0.6ex 0 -1px;"> </span>ycbj0QUE=</div>

Notice the span injected in the middle of the signature.  Not sure how you got part of the signature ended up inside a different div tag but different browsers are going to parse that differently.  Chrome adds no spaces or line breaks but the html "standard" is more like a guideline and different browsers = different outcomes.  Not sure the exact reason the forum's parser interprets a long string that way but as indicated above using code tag is a workaround.

Using code tags:

Code:

HOxlhwW83HZCEMw2DBGiqyf0dJFTgCtjvwpypPndsIzScc5RhD5xOC1PXaSveZIiL5pKG7bH3kZ47gWycbj0QUE=

Produces the following html:

Code:

<div class="code">HOxlhwW83HZCEMw2DBGiqyf0dJFTgCtjvwpypPndsIzScc5RhD5xOC1PXaSveZIiL5pKG7bH3kZ47gWycbj0QUE=</div>

Fixed, thanks all.
