Can you read them now? Re: Trouble Reading Some Posts Re: One Question to add

I just went it and deleted many paragraphs of "code" at the top of each of the posts. I can read them now (but of course, I've always been able to read them).

For Jackie/everyone (particularly if you don't know .html and have no idea how to go into a post and make sense of the 'source code'):

The best way to use the Text Editors is to type directly into them (without pasting anything from any other source). When we create a post 'somewhere else' and then paste it into CZ's Text Editor, then the Text Editor is dealing with TWO sets of code...and that's when things become unreadable to some people (or when the way it looks to one is different from someone else). There have been many of Waters posts that look perfect to her, but I have to scroll sideways to see them (and some have/had enormous font-size)...that's because she uses a RTE (Rich Text Editor) to compose her posts and pastes from that.

Of course, we take the major risk of losing everything we type when we type directly into CZ's Text Editors (btdt WAY too many times). I've recently found an add-on for FireFox that will recover anything you've typed into any 'form' on the 'net if you 'lose it'...it's been a total lifesaver. If you use FireFox, I highly recommend adding it on!: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6984/


The 2nd best way to use CZ's Text Editors is to create the post in Word, and then be sure to use the "insert from Word" icon to insert what was copied from the Word Document. Again, if we insert something from another source (including copy/paste from another post), it can end up being 'too much code', and people see different things (or nothing).

It seems to always work best if we remember to paste into the Text Editors using one of the little icons for pasting...but the fact is that no matter HOW we do it, sometimes it gets messed up. For example, there is no way from FireFox or IE that I'm able to embed a video or audio...zero, nada, zilch, not a chance :::sigh::::)

Of course, when we post something and we can see it clearly, we have no idea anything's wrong. In this case:
(I'm running Win XP and using Firefox and/or IE), I had no problem seeing the originals; Willowley is on a Mac using Safari --mostly--) and she had no problem either) ...all I think I could see is that you likely created the document in a different editor and then pasted it into one of the Text Editors (and that created "messy code" or "too much code" for THESE Text Editors to display properly to every persons computer/browser). PLEASE don't stress about it - it happens ALL the time...and one of us will always figger it out.

Blessings,
