Might it not be related to the "encoding" selected in the browser? Try different encodings. If the encoding is not correctly configured, even a well-designed Web page will not look good.

I mainly use Opera; here, the command is "View | Encoding".

BTW, for non-VFP-related topics, there are other forums, here on the Universal Thread. Check the list.

Talking about HTML codes, you may want to create hyperlinks for your quote (the text that appears beneath each of your messages), with the < A HREF... > combination. More details available on request.
