Jack Tar,
No punctuation issues at my end. But I'll take a layman's guess at what you may be seeing. I noticed this is your first post, so unless you've been a lurker here for the past year or two, you probably don't know about the website transition.
This site, as it currently looks, has been up and running only a few weeks now and appears to be coming popular again. The old message archives and articles are still accessible to all viewers. However, I think some of the old tags, such as
bold text and
aren't deciphered the same with the new format and read like code.
But, thats just a WAG on my part. If not the case, then perhaps the webmaster can explain the reason.
