For people having trouble posting text & encountering format problems, such as

 </p><p>

Please advise whether  you are using a Mac or PC

Are you copying & pasting with the text already formatted

Are you typing direct into the forum with Visual or Text button ticked

We are working to understand the problem people are encountering, but with many variables, it is difficult if we don't have a screen shot of what you are doing.

Thanks for your patience & response.

I use a Mac with out that problem. Also copied some text and image links from one post to another. No problem either. Using safari.

Hope that removes some variables.

I forget is it just on posts or post-editing posts or replies .. lets try this

ETS: Yes i'm typing and not cut'n'paste

Aha .. I see now, i was in visual mode, If you enter text mode, it works.

But the underline tag doesnt work

This is test for block quote in text mode

Awsome, I will go back and reformat my recent posts.

Another bug is the post number hyperlink, it just links to the original post not the individual post

What browser are you using - Mac or PC?
Did you copy & paste from something?
Or did you type straight into the forum?
Did you use  the Visual edit or the Text edit?

Thanks for any feedback.

Test with "Internet Explorer" (Edge) (onW10) is OK for formatting with direct text or cut and paste ... thus the problem seems to be when using CHROME (same problem occurred on Apple).

Only one remaining point. On old posts, pictures uploaded with BBcodes are visualized and can be corrected (include tags or captions). With these recent postings, this is not he case, the picture is not visualized and can not be updated. I will continue testing if there is a difference between main post and answers.

Other positive point for Visual and Tet buttons work on IE this was not the cas on answers with Chrome.
