I don't get it...

Why do people use these codes - - in their entries? I hope that they show up. I mean, when they didn't use an URL or any special or bold fonts, it doesn't do anything, it just makes the entry look cluttered and ridiculous.

Why do people use it? Does it do anything for Mac vs. PC users? Or for Explorer vs. Mozilla? Because I'm a PC+Mozilla!girl and it just looks plain ugly and I steer away from such posts.

I have really sensitive hearing. And by sensitive I mean that I can hear water dripping through closed door from another room. I hear even the slightest vibration of the ventilator in my computer. I hear my clock buzzing with electricity from 2 meters away. It's really headache inducing... *rubs forehead* X(

Adding to what fools_game said, people use the html in rich text, then copy the code to post in comms. Only in the comm they use the manual html because it is already formatted, and we end with the broken code :)

Done that a lot before I understood what was wrong :)

I like to use html tags too but I always check my posts before I post then to a comm. I mean, there is this "preview" button after all *sigh*

The problem, and I tell you from experience again, is that when you do the preview, the wrong tags are there, when you come back to the edit page to fix them, they are not. I guess most people don't take the time but many times I ended up deleting the entry.
