This is about the timestamp below each tiddler.

(updated 6/5/09 by YourName)

In Firefox, this displays correctly

But in IE6, there is no space between the date and the word "by"

(updated 6/5/09by YourName)

Using the PrettyDatesPlugin has the same issue:

(updated 27 minutes agoby YourName)

Anyone else getting this?

Looks like you're using a customized ViewTemplate.
Can you provide a test case:

I started my TW by creating one at Tiddlyspot.com, using the MPTW
package.

So I went to http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/ in IE6 and it's having the
same error there.

Also, when IE6 is loading that webpage, the title bar briefly displays

MPTW - tiddly wiki powered up (Error in macro <<mptwVersion>>) -
Microsoft Internet Explorer

So I think that is where the error is. I am CCing Mr. Baird on this.
Hopefully that is the correct thing to do (I'm still new around
here)...

I've figured out where the error is. Its in this tiddler:

http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#MptwTheme

Specifically, this code:

<div class='subtitle'>
(updated <span macro='view modified date {{config.mptwDateFormat?
config.mptwDateFormat:"MM/0DD/YY"}}'></span>
by <span macro='view modifier link'></span>)
<!--
(<span macro='message views.wikified.createdPrompt'></span>
<span macro='view created date {{config.mptwDateFormat?
config.mptwDateFormat:"MM/0DD/YY"}}'></span>)
-->
</div>

How do I manually add a space before the word "by"?

I've tried putting the 2 lines of code on one space, I've tried adding
a &nbsp, but nothing has worked yet.

I know this is really minor, but it will bother me until it's fixed.
If it's not fixed at the source, I'd at least like to fix it in my
personal TW.

thanks

What is the error?

Not sure what you mean. Is it just too close to the updated?

If you read the original post, Internet Explorer is rendering this
code differently than Firefox.

If you go to http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/ and look any of the tiddlers,
the subtitle will read

In FF3: (updated a year ago by MPTW) //space before "by MPTW"
In IE6: (updated a year agoby MPTW) //no space before "by MPTW"

It happens whether you use the PrettyDates plugin or not.

Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for looking at this Simon.

Shameless self-bump. Seems like if a post goes off the first page,
the chance of an answer really goes down.

I'd really like to know how to fix this - it seems like it should be
simple...

If you take the linebreak out of the code just before the word 'by'
the &nbsp; works

<div class='subtitle'>
(updated <span macro='view modified date {{config.mptwDateFormat?
config.mptwDateFormat:"MM/0DD/YY"}}'></span>&nbsp;by<span macro='view
modifier link'></span>)

(Allow for google linebreaks in this code)

Awesome. That worked like a charm. Thanks!
