I do agree that using something like quote or em would be nice, but I don’t like to mess with the big man’s toys.

You seem to be missing my point. I already do type out HTML tags, and have no problem with it. I'm just saying that we shouldn't have to add <p>...</p> to every paragraph.

It’s an all or nothing system. If you have no other tags, it’ll take whitespace literally. If you use tags, then all of the other associated tags must be used (p, etc).

You don’t.

I never do.

You do realize that the /p tag is optional, right? Not necessary at all.

Before you start coding, introduce a spelling error to your comment and run it through the spell checker. It will add all the <p>s and <br>s you need.

You seem to be missing my point. I already do type out HTML tags, and have no problem with it. I'm just saying that we shouldn't have to add p.../p to every paragraph.

To start with the P tag doesn't need the ending tag, /P. You only need the beginning tag not the ending one. Next Para just put another P(in brackets of course).

Secondly, I am sure if you wanted to donate the money and the time to recode Jim Robs Web page he would be happy to oblige, as long as you could do a good job. This forum costs you nothing, you are not required to donate money and you can use it for free as much as you want.

A person who complains about the software on a free forum as if somehow they are paying a fee for it is pretty low in my opinion, of course that's just me. Liberals and other free loading types probably feel differently about it since they think they are entitled.

BTW, do you donate?

I don’t know diddly about HTML. Never use it.

But I know how to format for paragraphs by using the ENTER key, and how to post links by cutting and pasting. In other words, I just type in this nice little box and hit “Post” when I’m done.

FReepers with superior knowledge may have better posts than mine, but the current software works just fine for us novices, too.
