Here is a brief explanation of some of the questions you may have about the Board.
No. You can not use HTML tags in any field. If you attempt to post HTML, the board script will just throw out everything in <>'s.
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you follow up on a message. They indicate that those lines are being quoted from the previous (original) post, like the > you see in some e-mail messages. Why : instead of >? Because > is an integral part of HTML markup, and as noted above, anything between <> is going to be deleted. So using lots of > would get pretty confusing for the web board program. Anyway, feel free to delete as much of the quoted original as you wish.
Your post most likely did not show up because your browser did not reload the main page. Instead, it simply pulled an old version of the Board out of its cache. Please reload the main page in your browser and your message should then appear.
It depends on the volume of postings, but generally a post on the Board will not last longer than two days. Frequently, the board will roll over within 24 hours. Check back often, if getting a response is important to you.
