@TPTROXRLYITSTRUE(View Post) "What You See Is What You Get", a concept of editing, where you actually see output as you edit, as opposed to markup languages, where you only see tags and markup as you edit, but not the formaatted text
@TPTROXRLYITSTRUE(View Post) if you turn off wyswig then you can,and only use html. About your problem, it rarely happens to me too. I never turn on wyswig.it's a really weird and annoying problem. But have patience..waiting always solves this error.
With WYSIWYG: <p>@mniip!240483</p> <p> What does WYSIWYG does anyway?</p>
without: @mniip!240483 What does WYSIWYG does anyway?
and that is the reason I prefer not using it, your posts are much cleaner, and can be easily edited. The forum rules' formatting has been completely destroyed a few times due to incompatibilities in editing between the two, and same with other posts. If you know html (ex. <a href="link here">text</a>), I would recommend not using WYSIWYG, but if you don't know it ... I guess it's helpful if you need html, even though your posts look ugly
Note: Some posts look much worse in formatting when it's on. Also it sometimes breaks posting save links, like this: 477820View Save 477820
