Was updating the club home page (9730 Famous Toastmasters Mainz 9730.toastmastersclubs.org) with dates of next meetings, clicked on "Save" and the clicked through a warning about external html without thinking. I should certainly know better... That warning was there for a reason.
Now the page is blank... And I can't even access the admin login to try to put things right.

Totally my own fault, but can you possibly clear the error so I can get back in as admin, and recover the site as far as possible.
Thanks very much, and sorry to waste your time.

Russell.

Russell, we do have certain space constraints in the page layout.  Unfortunately, it can sometimes be challenging to determine how much space a given chunk of user-supplied HTML will take up and whether it will blow up the page layout.

The rule of thumb to keep in mind is that for the simple one line entry rich text fields, keep it simple.  I added formatting capability a number of years ago, which technically does generate HTML, but those simple text entry fields were never conceived as being used as much more than a one line entry in the page layout.  If you paste a lot of HTML into those fields, you can indeed mangle the page layout.
