Hi guys,

My messages tend to get swallowed up in part. Everytime i post something and there is a relational operator of some sort, it and a few lines of text after it get swallowed up.

does anyone have any idea how to overcome this. Its really frustrating.

thankz

If you mean when you're posting code, usually involving a less than sign, then you can click the "Trying to post programming code" link on the confirm page and follow the instructions. I've had some reports that it doesn't work, but I haven't had any trouble. Let me know.

For small bits of code, most people just use a bracket [ instead of a less than sign. The javascript converts < (less than) signs into the html code & l t ; (without the spaces) and you can sometimes write that in the confirm box, but I haven't been able to ascertain which conditions it actually works on...

If there appears a less than sign before (less than) in the above, then it worked for me in this case...experiment and see if you can figure out when you can get away with it.

Then again, it's possible that my experiment made that entire paragraph be swallowed, so you may not even see this message...I guess we'll see:-)
