We had similar html problems several years ago after a major FR software upgrade.

I remember having to use a special strict ascii notepad type program to formulate posts with html because the FR software would change the text coding.

It took a while for John to work that/those bug(s) out.

Wow, that sounds like what is happening to my posts.

See, I code the HTML in my word program and then copy it over to FRs posting page and I even test the links in preview before posting.

Everything works in Preview, but after I hit post the links are all broken.

One of the truly GREAT things about FR is the simplicity of JohnRob’s software. It’s intentionally simple, it renders correctly on just about any computer including really dumb ones (think back to 1997), and it’s quick (barring server/network issues).

The very last thing I would ever want is for FR’s software to get fancy and start looking and acting like Facebook.

But that also means that sometimes, fancy features don’t work right.

Oh well. That’s why Notepad still exists. :-)
