Not sure what you're referring to because there are no HTML comment tags in my message.
I simply followed SOP for seeing how something was formatted by clicking on the Peek button on your
Message 1. What I found was dBCodes with HTML comments mixed in -- I tried to post that with PRE tags, but the comments got commented out except for the mismatched close-comment tags. In order to see what I saw, please click on that Peek button yourself.
I'm fixing the bug over on the cloud server ... dBoard software performs better formatting of messages than other discussion board offerings, like vBulletin.
So then what are you actually doing? Showing us the codes for formatting our lists? Or just running a test for some tinkering you're doing with the forum software? Or something else? Shouldn't you have informed us of the purpose of your
Message 1?
When I was in the war (USAF-speak), I maintained a communications system (phased out of service and replaced decades ago). To test the live system, we would send test messages in this format:
quote:

This is a test message.

Something to consider for the future.
