There is a new red line thing when I try to post in the Wish List Multiples. It keeps appearing and I have no idea what it is suppossed to do but what it does do is mess up what I try to post. I spent 30 minutes trying to get my list posted and I kept having one book that would attach itself to the last posting.

I have never encountered anything like this before in all my years of posting and it is very annoying. How can I get rid of the red line thing? What is it supposed to be doing, why does it even exist?

Thanks for any help.

Elaine,

PM me and I will try to help you with the red line issue.  I only see it when using Firefox.  Clearing the formatting of my post using the eraser always helps.

It is a formatting feature.  I think the default switched from off to on, at least when I'm cutting and pasting.  Don't see it on straight text.

Thanks to both of you. Mary I have tried to PM you from both forums but it goes to the error screen each time.

Something is happening with the PBS servers.  They are not telling us.  But error messages are popping up all over.
