Formatting problems

January 6, 2008 6:56:04 PM

I'm not sure whether this is an error or not, so i thought i would ask here first.

On the Comnet profiles everyone has, I am having difficulty formatting the text i put in. I try inputting the codes that the Forum uses, but whenever i click on update, it just comes up as one big stream of text.

Copy/Pasting from Words doesnt work either, although i never really expected it too.

The strange thing is, Font formatting aside, it doesn't even keep the paragraphing gaps i leave, its just one big mess.

Any Ideas?

If you click on my comnet profile now you will see what i mean.

are you using HTML code or BBCode?

The ComNet no longer supports HTML in Profile Signatures, and only supports BBCode in them. Everything Else in the ComNet supports both BB & HTML Codes.

BBC Codes are the ones that are built into the fourm arn't they? I have been using them, although i didn't know about the
thing so i will try that.
