This is not working! (Help with formatting a post) :-(

What's going on? For tomorrow's "Picture of the Day" thread, I have all these tags, I place them, and while I am working on them, the display/preview section looks awesome, all the colors in place, the picture is kickass, I mean, all looks fantastic and ready to go. Then I save it and post it...and what comes up is crap...no pictures, no colors, nothing. Just the actual tags, but all fractured and in disarray. Why does the preview screen show something that doesn't actually come up? What am I doing wrong? red face

Send me a PM with the exact html you are trying to use and I will try to see what's wrong. - gintar77, Aug 4, 2011
Thanks, man! - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
Stephen, it's the one on the top. It has your picture and mine in it. Can you see it? - sanlee, Aug 5, 2011
The preview window is definitely not wysiwyg. Many things look correct in the preview, but will not post that way. - 0074b507, Aug 5, 2011

Darnit! What the heck am I doing wrong? LOL (I gotta laugh so I don't cry!) - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
Um...and why did the comment came out in boldface????? - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
Is this what you were going for? - gintar77, Aug 4, 2011
Yep. When I did it, it showed it the way it does now, but the word "¡DIVIÉRTANSE!" was in red, and it showed the picture underneath. - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
By the way, is there any reason as to why when I hover my cursor over the text, it all flashes and gets undelined? Man, did I screw up or what? LOL - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
Another weird thing, all the Spanish text is not supposed to be in bold, and in fact, when I try to edit it, the preview screen shows it in its proper format, but it does not come up like that now... - StephenTrevor, Aug 4, 2011
I'm at a complete loss. Sorry, man. I've gotta go to bed. Maybe I'll dream of a solution :-) - gintar77, Aug 5, 2011
Good night, and thanks!!! - StephenTrevor, Aug 5, 2011
GUINTAR!!!! That's the one I want! You fixed it again!!!! Now, how do I cut and paste it so as not to screw it again??? - StephenTrevor, Aug 5, 2011

Man! This is all messed up; you finally fixed the one I loved, and all I did was cut-and-paste it to post the actual thread, and it somehow went back to being fragmented!!!! God, this is frustrating... - StephenTrevor, Aug 5, 2011
Don't forget to close the < p > tag at the end. :-) - gintar77, Aug 5, 2011

Stephen, remember to close all your tags, including the < p >. Also, you keep forgetting to close your < b > tag at the very end, which is why all subsequent posts keep appearing boldfaced.
