Why is my font always doing wack things?

[ctowle]

Hello. I seem to have a problem since the upgrade. I keep getting syntax showing up in my post.

Here is an example:

Mine is the 3rd post.

dont understand why this is happening.

A little direction into what I am doing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks-

BTW- If I missed the explanation in the FAQ, I looked and I do apologize.

Are you using the WYSIWYG Editor?

<EM>bold italics test

<EM></STRONG><a class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.yahoo.com" target=blank><STRONG><EM>Link test!<EM></STRONG></A>

<EM>Hey, this is pretty cool!

<EM>Cool, thanks for pointing that out, I think I like it!<EM><EM><EM><EM><EM><EM> But now I can't get those dang italics off!

Hmm... Posted and edited a couple times with the WYSIWG editor, couldn't get the italics off, changed back to normal editor, and the message looks all funky.

<FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=1>TonyH-

I am just typing. How would I be turning it on?

Thanks-

EDIT- It did it again. The only thing I did was copy/ paste your name (Tony) from above then started typing.

Click on the customize button at the top of the page. Scroll down until you see
"Would you like to draft your messages using the WYSIWYG Editor?"

Click the "No", and the click the "Customize!" button at the bottom.

Make sure you're feeding your WYSIWYG editor plenty of leafy greens and nothing that's been in the refrigerator for more than say... a couple days. The editors like fresh greens.

A dollop of scotch wouldn't hurt either.

I think it was the scotch that caused the problem, occifer!

Thanks. I did have the <FONT color=#000000>WYSIWYG editor on. I have turned it off. Let's see if it works.</FONT>

Lets try it now. I changed my settings in a different window.
