Not sure about your close your tags comment but I will add a little FR History.

A long time ago if you wanted to emphasize a point you could put several LARGE BOLD html commands in there without closing tags and others did so much you couldn’t even see the screen so knowing a little HTML I just took a black square, made it a huge image and posted it as an article.

You couldn’t see anything on the site. No home page no nothing. Not sure whether it was Jimrob or Johnrob but they figured it out in short order and every post from then on resets things to standard parameters.

So “close your tags” makes no sense to me - I glanced at the HTML and didn’t see anything weird.

Still you’re welcome - I fixed that problem from long ago.

Sorry - should have mentioned that I couldn’t even see the FR screen, really late at night. there’s an outside chance alcohol was involved but they just fixed things without any repercussions to me. They just fixed it.

The net effect was simply once a post was set LARGE LARGE LARGE BOLD BOLD BOLD without closing tags it stayed that way. So I fixed it.
