When I list a url and then post an excerpt from it, I format the excerpted material as a quote to separate it from my own comments.
By the next day the formatted quote has disappeared. The words are still there but not as a formatted quote.
Howcome?

Do you copy & paste directly from the source? I think that has something to do with it. I have no problem on my old computer, but when I try it on the newer laptop, the whole 'puter actually reboots!
Try the workaround I use: I open my word processor & set it up with Verdana 10 pitch. Then whenever I want to copy from another url, I paste it unformatted into the WP. Copy from the WP & paste onto FG.
It's kind of a pain, but I haven't had a problem since.

I doubt that it's anywhere but the server. I had one like it earlier in the week. Bronwen, did it happen on a post you edited subsequently? That might be where the glitch is.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

There is a bug - when you post a quote near the top of your post - and it appears on our top page - you blow out all the margins. I'm sure you've all seen that.
When we see this - we take out your quotes. The best way around this is to make sure your quoted piece is further down in your post or just use: " "
