Can you explain what you mean? if there is a bug, I want to fix it.

Thanks!

I was getting a wierd error message on a blank screen - I'll see if it still happens. And earlier today, the prior posts were showing up as HTML - didn't look like this does for sure...

Paul, you'll have to reformat your old post in the Rich Text Editor once, then it should be ok from then on.

Edit it, remove all the HTML looking stuff, then PREVIEW it. Make sure it looks clean. Then use the editor controls to reformat it.

I think the problem is you just need to get rid of all the HTML looking stuff to start.

This is by design. I figure they don't need to be in there. That isn't really what the site is about. If you want to see the latest in those forums, you can just enter into those forums.

You seem to be doing just fine. Don't panic. You'll get through this.
