Any luck on self-deleting and writer-deleted messages yet? The last message I wrote is half missing, and half of what is there is in italics! Did I imbed a control character by accident?

No, not yet. It's on my list of things to do though. Promise.

It's all fixed now… I manually editted your message in the database. The reason your message got screwed up is becuase you quoted the original post by putting < and > characters around the text, so the web browser thinks that is an HTML tag… I'll have to fix that… anyway, if you want to "quote" a message the way to make the text italic like I do is to type the following:

<em>This is text from the original message</em>

Which will result in it being displayed as:

This is text from the original message

Eventually, I'll make this message board better and easier to use. Promise. :)
