Which messes up the thread. :p Perhaps you haven't seen that glitch in action before. (or maybe it's fixed now?)

Pasting from notepad is fine because it's not formatted. It's pasting from MS Word that messes up te thread.

Lol, just write it out on a note pad, then copy and paste. That way, if your note book crashes again, you wont loose any of your work.
Yeah, Adywan. You really ought to get a grip on some state-of-the-art modern software once in a while. :-D

Whoops! I am sorry for my part in this, Moth3r. I was just making a (weak) joke.

You are correct that pasting from Notepad is fine; at least for MSIE and Firefox, although Chrome seems to do something peculiar to the pasted text.
The sources most likely to screw up the forum when pasted are MS Word and Internet Explorer (i.e. copying text from another website).
