Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except body of the message. The maintainer of the script has the option of allowing or disallowing any HTML in the Message part of your posting. If they disallow it, the script will just throw out everything in <>'s. If they allow it, your html markup will appear in the posting. It can't hurt to try.
Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. The owner of the WWWBoard can decide whether they wish to enable or disable the quoting of previous messages.
1) Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the
page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it
should then appear.
2) You just happen to be using IE 4.0 as your browser.
The Webmaster recommends Netscape 3.0 or higher, but for all
those unbelievers, this is what you have to make sure you do
in the IE 4.0 setup:
At the top of the browser, click "view", then click "Internet Options".
Under "General" tab, click on "settings" for
"Temporary Internet Files".
Under "Check for newer versions of stored pages:", click in the circle next to "Every visit to the page." Then click "OK".
Now the neat part, you have to close your browser and restart it for this change to take effect!
This will take care of the fact that IE 4.0 doesn't have a "reload", but only a "refresh".
