    I have a story (Murakami on the Train) that had formatting before and today I went and looked at it and the formatting (just paragraph breaks) is gone and no matter what I do it won't come back. Any ideas?

    Sorry about that one, guys. Some code changes this morning caused the problem. I'm not sure how exactly how many stories it affected, but everything should be resolved now.

    Not sure if this is the place to report it (is there tech support anywhere?), but my stories display as HTML code.

    Right -- thanks for letting us know, Didi. I think technically, it's not HTML but XML code you're seeing, but either way, it's no good. Carson will fix ASAP. In the meantime, if you have an alternate browser, the pages display fine in Firefox. Very sorry about this.

    I'm having a similar problem when posting. My text loses formatting and italics whenever I try to save the changes I made in the draft. In edited form though, the text & italics appear to be fine. Also, the tags & snippet of text feature isn't working. Sorry to report.

    The italics disappearing! Please bring 'em back.

    OK, the xml problem is fixed. Do you still have the problem with the italics, Arlene?

    I do,Jurgen. The italics have even disappeared from an older story I had posted before. Maybe the problem is with something I'm doing if no one else is mentioning it.

    I can't get formatting to work, either. :\

    A temporary fix to italics is just to add quotation marks the old fashioned way.

    The formatting still isn't working - same problem I reported earlier.

    OK -- so sorry about this. We're looking into it.

    This still isn't working-- it seems like the italics button just doesn't work for italicizing text.

    Yep, I just tried to post a story - the formatting & italics are lost.

    Thanks for the update & great news, Carson! The formatting issue is only a little glitchy thing in this place here where everything is designed beautifully and works so well! Thanks for the help!
