I was writing chapter 8 for my latest fanfic-Winter War. Once I posted it, it was not how I typed it; rather, it was written in coding. The processor probably "forgot" to change the post from coding to how it should be displayed. I have now fixed chapter 8. Read the fanfic here, if interested. http://mwomercs.com/...ior-long-story/

I need a better description of the bug you experienced. From what I can tell you tried to post HTML in the forum. We do not allow users to post HTML in the forums.

I just typed normally and it came out in code. By normally, i mean that I typed just like every other user does when posting in the forums. No HTML, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. I can't completely recall what it was like, I believe it included a lot of forward slashes though. I believe it was like this, but this may not be 100% accurate. I will give an eample.
From
"Hi, Bill!"
to
&quot Hi, Bill! &quot
&quot is the only code I remember clearly, though. I also think it had something like <> for itallics, and /s for spaces between paragraphs. I don't know if this is any help or not, but I am letting you know.

EDIT:
When editing a forum post, you can briefly see the code I am speaking of before the text becomes normal. It also was not a temporary problem, as I experienced it again recently and when I tried to fix it it did not let me edit font size, etc. Basically I could not do anything but type so I could not fix the formatting.

Can you please let me know what browser and version of browser you are using, and maybe even what operating system and operating system version you are using? I'll try to reproduce this bug.
