Html Codes In Post. How Does It Get There?

[Maestro]

Sometimes I see HTML code in posts like <br>, etc (example). I am trying to recreate this oddity, so that I may advise members how to avoid it. If anybody has any ideas about it, please post it here in this topic.

Please give me a clue to this one.

hansum, can you remember if you used "Fast Reply"? If you did, did you type directly in the reply box? Perhaps it has nothng to do with the copy/paste from Notepad, which I did when I got the problem once, but not on subsequent tries.

Typing directly in the window of "Fast Reply". No copy/paste from a text program this time.
