I have noticed that this site will sometimes add unwanted characters to posted comments.  ...And sometimes people add unwanted or misspelled characters, by mistake... then make an entirelynew posttryingto correct those mistakes. ...FYI:You canedit your owncomments, on forums that have apencil iconat the top of your comment, to correct those mistakes... Justclick on the pencilicon to gain access to those comments.   Also... you may have to double space (using theenterkey)  to leave a space between paragraphs, otherwise the blog software may not leave any space there... >>

...like this. ^^

One more thing..."Quotation Marks"are often removed by the software, the 1st time you try to post them in a comment, but they can be replaced with an edit.

    [/quote]Good idea! Had to learn this by trial and error - wish it had been posted several years ago. Hope new comers can find it.

    Well I must try to remember this for future use other than the editing of my reply which I had already worked out.

    The editor is really terrible. The worst I've ever dealt with on a forum.

    "The editor" ?? What does that mean? I'm not being a smartass, I'm curious.

    I will sometimes write a small piece as a Microsoft Word document and paste it into the text box.  It seems to work well.  The advantage is you get to keep it on a big format and review it for errors. I've also had this box loose the entire paragraph after a few lines.
