Barky,

I have just had a look at your HTML and I am not sure what you were trying to achive but here are a couple of notes.

1. The BODY tag is one that you shouldn't use in Mudcat. It has its own place in an HTML document and is set by Max in its proper place near the beninning of the document. Any other use of the BODY tag could cause problems.

2. If you were trying to change the color of your text, you use the FONT tag. It you read through the thread that Joe has provided a link to you will find out how to do this.

Dale, one thing to be aware of with errors is that browsers handle them differently. As an example, a missing closing quote on a link does not seem to effect Internet Explorer (the link may not work but the browser recovers) but it is likely to stop Netscape loading and further. One problem here is if the person who made the error is an IE user, he/she is probably going to be unaware that they have made the remainder of the thread unreadable for others.
