Can I put HTML tags anywhere in my posts?

No. You cannot use HTML tags in any field except the body of the message.

Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?

Colons appear in the message field when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document.

Why didn't my post show up?

Your post most likely did not show up because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of the local cache. Press the Reload button on your browser and it should then appear.

Where can I get the scripts for this program?

The scripts are written in Perl and created by Matt Wright. They are free to anyone who wishes to use them and you can get them as well as other scripts at: http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/. Enjoy!
