Hello,


I keep trying to send a message and this is the error report I keep getting. Can someone help?

The following errors were found
The number of opening and closing quote tags does not match. Please fix this to submit your post.

This personal message has not been sent

Thanks,

the best thing to do when that happens, is erase everything on the page and start over, lol. What that means is, that somehow there are tags that havent' been closed, that means something like this has happened

[u]this should be underlined

see how there are no tags on the end of that? you can also go through and find where that has happened and close the tags. I hope that helped.

To add on to what Leah said, the way to close a tag is this:

underline: [/u]
bold: [/b]
italics: [/i]
font: [/font]
quote: [/quote]

And so on and so forth. Usually one or two open tags will be allowed through, but much more than that will result in the error message.

Hope that helps.

If you have any more problems, just let us know on here and we will try to sort it out.

CODE
[quote=members name]this is the quote tag with members name[/quote]

[b]this is bold tag[/b]

[u]this is underline tag[/u]


this is an example of how tags work. There are more tags available in the options.

The main point is that a tag must be opened
CODE
[b]


and then the tag must be closed
CODE
[/b]


then the text will appear as

The main point is that a tag must be opened[b]

and then the tag must be closed
[/b]

any text that appears in between the opening and closing of the tag will display according to the tag you choose.

Tags will denote the formatting of all text that you post. This ranges from the type of colour & font to the size and positioning of the colour & font. There are tags for all kinds of formatting. Experiment all you like, just remember that each tag must be opened and closed for it to work.

A quick way to use tags is to highlight the text you want to format with your mouse and then use the controls to select the type of tag you require. Whether that be Insert Link, Align Left, Fonts, Colours, or Code. The full editor contains all tag controls available.

That you got that error is because not all tag in your reply were closed correctly.
