<UL> You must actually enter the HTML code within the information you're adding to the forum -- which would look like this:

(your information)

If that doesn't work, the beginning bolding is started the left arrow, a 'b', and then the right arrows. The ending for bold being with a left arrow, a slash, a 'b', followed by the right arrow.

& + lt = <
& + gt = >

so to make it acceptable I would enter w/o a '+':

&+ltb&+gt(your information)&+lt/b&+gt

and it would displayed:

to recreate CursorCowboy Bill's posted to see if it work on mine:

&+ltb&+gt(your information)&+lt/b&+gt <--- (w/o a '+')

On the 'preview message', it looks OK but when I clicked on 'post it', it will displayed:

(your information) <--- the less than+slash+b+greater than disappeared)

'Exactly as Bill described, and it works for me. Are you putting a space between the less than sign and the 'b' at the end? Just a WAG

strict compliance thing about the space. Should not matter, but with these forums, who knows
I tried to send some simpler information, but seems the forum even converts character codes, unless you break em up like Bill did.

I can do like this to make it 'bold' as you did

This line should be in 'bold'

but to show you how to enter it (in this software forums) when I entered

&+lt+b+&+gtThis line should be in 'bold'&+lt+slash+b+&+gt (without a '+') I got the &+lt+slash+b+&+gt disappeared as:

This line should be in 'bold' <--- (the &+lt+slash+b+&+gt won't show)

Regards,
