Being unfamiliar with HTML coding issues is not the mark of a “dummy”!

I forgot to mention, all that coding stuff (HTML) does’t work in our private messaging system! Yeah, you’d think I’d mention that before going on and on like that, eh? 

In our private messaging system (FR email system available to all users), you’d see all the code instead of formatted text. Also - there’s a bug that we encountered sending large pages of HTML code (example: The Oracle Archives stored in Generally’s profile page. SHOUT OUT TO GENERALLY! THANK YOU FOR MAINTAINING THE ORACLE ARCHIVES! :D)

So we tried emailing that code to each other but it includes web addresses enclosed in quote marks. Sending it through the email added an extra quote mark on the right side of the web address! Yeah. Messed up everything big time until our web designer, Mairdie (SHOUT OUT TO MAIRDIE FOR DESIGNING OUR TABLES!) figured it out. Those extra quotes had to be removed prior to use.

So - maybe you could make friends with some sweet little marks to make decent looking lines to separate cited text from the text you add:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like the ~ symbol. Not too jarring, eh? :)

I put the cited text above the line, and my reply below it. Just an idea. :)

And just remember, everyone: There is NO EXTRA CHARGE at FR for the chance to learn about and practice a little HTML.
