Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, when I copy what you wrote into my post and hit the “preview” button, the quote tags are still visible. If the above appears correctly as a quote, then I guess the preview feature is bugged. If it appears with quote tags, (as I expect it will) then I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, but I’ll stick to bold, italics, and color.
By the way, what do the two preview buttons do? There is one in the actual post editor (above superscript) that displays the message I typed with quote tags still visible and no extra formatting beyond what I see in the editor. Then there is a preview tab at the top of the page (next to options ) that displays your post as it appears in the forum plus a post (purportedly by me) that quotes your full post and includes nothing else. I didn’t write any such post; any idea what is going on?
Basically a new text editor was bolted onto the forum software, replacing an older text editor. Thus there is an incompatibility between the editor and forum. That’s why the two distinct Preview buttons will malfunction. Here is more info:
