Whoa! 379PB: on YOUR version of MY "testing 1, 2, 3" item, it looks like it's supposed to (underlines, italics, etc.). But in the posted version of my ORIGINAL of that ... at least on my screen ... it has the code notation. Hmmm. Might this have something to do with "Disable BBCode"? That's "checked" at the bottom of my "Post a reply" page. I don't know what BBCode is.
