Hmmm. What did you do?

I hit the Code button as I am doing new:
[code]
then I entered some stuff and then hit the CODE button again:
[/code]
Then posted.

This is what I did. I pasted the code into the text field, highlighted it and then hit the code button. It automatically adds the code tags for you that way. :)

Rats! Thanks for the info anyway.

I did what you said and the code/nocode stuff appeared automatically, but when I post, it simply leaves those boxes.

I don't have that problem on www.qbasicnews.com.

Let me try making this a "Trusted Site" in my internet security.

Last test.

[code]Hey, to the OP, sorry to hijack your thread but anyway you got your answer: don't use "My Documents" - too long and has a space.[/code]

This was done with Trusted Site security

Dr. Davidstein!

I think I have it

Code: Select all

do
  print "Happy Days"
loop while inkey$=""
I had "Disable BBCode" checked in options. Don't know why. I found it while comparing my qbasicnews posting to this forum

Thanks again for trying.
