That’s the first time anyone has complained. I’ve seen this kind of formatting used all over the place.

You're only one of a handful here that use it.

Most posters around here use quotation marks and paragraph breaks to differentiate between theirs, and the other poster's comments. Many (like me) go the extra step of italicizing the other guy's comments. Some use a solid line break to separate the comments, but they all work. Point is, some posting formats are easier on the eyes than others.

When FR gets pop-down html buttons, I’ll use them. It can’t be that difficult, I’ve seen other websites using canned software for it.

The basic HTML commands for things like italics and paragraph breaks are really simple. Surely, after fifteen years here, you know them well. If you choose not to use them, I guess that's fine. They just help others to digest what you're posting a lot better.

I've often wished that JohnRob would add a rich text editor to the FR software, but folks here seem to like the old school way this place is set up. I live with it because of the quality of the forum and the people here. There's none better anywhere I've been on the net.

***When I see HTML buttons on my keyboard, or drop-down HTML buttons (I’ve used them on other sites) or even the ability to copy & paste into & out of MSWord, then I’ll be doing that.
